Charles Litherland

Hospital [Steward?] U.S.A.

Alton Ills.

Sir

I am directed by his Excellency Governor Yates to enclose herewith a copy of a dispatch received from Hon. Secretary of War in answer to an application for authority to recruit among the abel prisoners at Alton. Said application was made immediately after your interview with his Excellency Governor Yates but the answer was delayed unavoidably. The Governor instructs me further to say that your application will be duly considered in case the War Depart should change its policy in regard to the same.

Very Respectfully

Simon HIrschbach
