SPRINGFIELD, April 19,
1861
GENERAL SWIFT:
As quick as possible have as strong a force as you can
raise, armed and equipped with ammunition and accoutrements, and a company of
artillery, ready to march at a moments warning. A messenger will start to
Chicago to-night.
RICHARD YATES,
Commander-in-chief
Reports to the General Assembly of Illinois at its
