Cavalry, "Governors Legion" We have seven hundred & fifty good and loyal men, stout able bodied and anxious to do service for the Stars and Stripes. These men are disheartened, paralised - likely to be disbanded, because we have an imbecile, malignant old man for Colonel. We cannot procure arms, but a are thwarted by him in every attempt to benefit the Regiment. You put him in power. I now appeal to you to have him displaced, or for awhile relieved from command by being placed under arrest, and thereby save eleven hundred and fifty citizens of Illinois from disgrace and ruin, and cause the Government to lose the services of as good and true men as can be found You owe this to us, and to yourself. You put him in his present position It is impossible for me to get arms or to do any the least good with the man at the head. He wont let us. We are in a most deplorable condition There is not better material in the world. Take the Colonel away and we will not be inferior to any Regiment in service. <hr /> Some time since I preferred charges against Col. Cavanaugh. They have been on Gen Paines and Gen. Shermans tables until now. Gen. S. sends them to day to Gen Halleck. The delay in forwarding them has been on account of the busy times here. Gen. Sherman says (and correctly too) that the public service will not admit to Courts Martial to try Colonels at this time, and that the effect of those charges may be to cause the Reg's. to be disbanded You can save us if you will write to Gen Halleck requesting him to place Col. Cavanaugh under arrest under the charges I have preferred again him. They are False muster - keeping a woman as his mistress - gross neglect of duty and falsehood. If you will do this, we will not be disbanded and will then be able to procure arms Governor, in the name of all these loyal citizens of Illinois, and their families and neighbors I beseech you to aid us. Our men look to you as the cause of our misery and as the only man who can relieve us. Write to Gen. Halleck requesting him to place Col.
