Oct 3rd. 1864..

To his exelency,

Gov Yates,

Pardon me for troubeling you, but my anxiety for my husband must be my excuse

Knowing that you take an interest in your soldiers, and do all in your power for them, I write you now, for the purpose of obtaining my husbands discharge. I know not what else to do. He is so fare from his Reg, and his health, and spirits so reduiced I apply to you our Gov, and the soldiers noble friend, knowing, that you, in your kindness, will do all in your power, for one of your soldiers.

He enlisted the 13 day of August 1862. in the 92 Ill V'ol Inft. As you know that Reg, was mounted, and

surved under Col Wilder untill they were put in to a Hvy Corps of Cav, I can say with ashureance, that he did his duty as a man and a soldier, as long as his health permited. But last March it entirely failed. and the last of Apr. he was sent back to Chattanooga, where he has remained in the Hos, untill about too months since. He has been sent from one Hospital to another, and is now at Mound City.

His health is growing worse all the time and the Drs tell him he can not get well, unless he can be kept very quiet, and have the best of cair.

Oh, will you send me his discharge that I may go at once, and bring him home. He has already been in the Hos, - five months. Pardon me, if, in my anxiety, I have writen an unformal, letter to your exelency

Will your exelency, discharge Fredrick H Wagner. of the 92, Ill, V'ol Inft. now at Mound City Hospital, and send his papers to me.

With respect,

Ella C. Wagner
