Dear Sir: Thomas Doyle writes from Bloomington Jan 4th that he sustained injuries in the service with Capt Orme of the 94th Regt. Co H. _lost his right arm and asks assistance until he receives his pension. I enclose herewith $15 being a part of a private fund which I have been able to procure from benevolent men & women to meet the wants of individual sufferers from our regiments. I would be glad to do more had the State properly provided a fund. Please investigate Mr Doyle' case and if you find him worthy and destitute give the money & oblige

Truly Yours

Richard Yates
