Cavalry to the Genl. & his fellow prisoners; but alas! they are still in prison, starving, rotting, dying! <hr /> Possibly, you can do nothing, and I am troubling you unnecessarily, but still, my action is prompted by a feeling that needs no excusing - a feeling that the brave soldier should not be neglected a single hour by his Govt., nor by his fellow citizens.

The Capt. <hr /> thinks humanity calls for prompter action on the part of the Govt., & I must say the Capt. is not alone in this opinion. Knowing your interest in all who act and suffer for our common country, I take this liberty, hoping you may be able to urge forward the exchange of these suffering & abused officers. It was arranged with Genl Leery when he was paroled, that Lieut Witt & companions should be sent back in return for the kindness thus shown by the 4th Ill. Cavalry to the Genl. & his fellow prisoners; but alas! they are still in prison, starving, rotting, dying! <hr /> Possibly, you can do nothing, and I am troubling you unnecessarily, but still, my action is prompted by a feeling that needs no excusing - a feeling that the brave soldier should not be neglected a single hour by his Govt., nor by his fellow citizens. Yours Respy. D. J. Pinckney <hr /> D J Pinkney Mt Morris April 23rd 1863. Urges the Governor to use his influence to have the exchange of prisoners hastened - says his brother in law Lieut Witt of the 4th Ill Cavalry is now in prison at Jackson Miss. with many other brave officers who are starving among filth and vermin too horrible to think of. file Recd Ex O.

Woodstock Apl 17th 1863 Gov Yates Dear Sir I wish to return to the army. I was wounded at the battle of Stone River and discharged even before I had asked to be. I carry two Secesh balls in my left hip but shall be able to take the field again if mounted. I can produce recommendations from competent officers acquainted with me that I am worthy and competent for a field officer. I have been in the thickest of three of the great battles of the day. Pea Ridge Perryville and Stone River and our old regiment (the 36th Ills) remains a wreck; its brave boys ly upon each of the above mentioned battlefields. Should there be an opportunity to serve my Country in this or any <hr /> other capacity I am as ready as I was nearly two years since and should such a chanc offer I should be happy to furnish any recommendations desired until then I remain yours &c Wallace Benson Woodstock West Henry Co Illinois <hr /> Wallace Benson Woodstock April 17th 1863.
