Yates Respected Sir: Though I never wrote a letter to a Gov, in my life, yet pardon me for this once, and listen to my plea. I request your influence and assistance in getting a furlough or discharge for a sick son - He enlisted in the U. S. Service two years ago last August, in Co. H. 33 Reg. Ill Vol being then (16 1/2) sixteen and a half years old. He has been in active service nearly all the time since. A year ago last Spring marched from Trenton Mo. to Batesville Ark. and in July performed a forced march to Helena on quarter rations & the last sixty miles with <hr /> only one meal. Last winter he spent the nearly all his time marching through Missouri - most of the time on half rations - wore out his shoes & went through snow 8 or 10 inches deep barefoot or nearly so. Early last spring he was sent to Vicksburg, after spending some five or six weeks in the Ditches, he performed the march & fought the battles from Grand Gulf to Jackson, then back to the rear of Vicksburg, there he toiled till Vicksburg surrendered. For three months before that event he was sick with ague & chronic diarrhea When he was so weak he could not stand up an hour, he would get a reclining position & act as sharp shooter. The day of the charge along the line (22 of May) he fired two hundred rounds in this way. This son (Henry Steele) has been in Hospital since July fourth, Part of the time in Vicksburg the rest of the time in <hr /> General Hospital Benton Barracks Ward D. When he first came up to St. Louis he could walk around, but he has gradually run down till he can not sit up but a little while at a time. We have some hope of his recovery if we could get him home, but non if he stays there. I have visited him there & know he has every comfort. I do not urge the change because he suffers for comforts. I don't. They are kind to our sick soldiers. But he has been sick so long, he is childish, and is anxious to come home, therefore I urge; that the change might do him good. The Surgeon in charge told me if he could have his way about it he would send all with that disease home. I have one more favor to ask of your Excellency if you should aid me in getting our boy home can you send me a pass to go to bring him home, He is too weak to come alone. Respectfully Yours, Mrs. E. M. Steele <hr /> Blood, Rev. E. C. Wataga, Knox Co. Sept 29th Encloses with his recommendations a letter from Mrs Steele, whose son is a member of the 33rd Ills requesting a furlough for him. H has performed faithful service and endured great hardships.

Bloomington Illinois Sep 28th 63 To Gov Yates I am sorry to intrude on your time which I know is precious but I will try to be as brief as possible. I wish to speak to my husband his name is David K. Plumley and he is a member of the 94th Regiment Ill Vols he was at the Siege of Vicksburg and while there was [illegible] and had a severe attack of intermitting fever and when the Regiment was at Port Hudson he was so bad they sent him up the river to Jefferson Barracks where he was for nearly 2 months until last week he was transferred to the hospital at Quincy Illinois while he was at the Barrack he was promised a furlough but did not get it and now at Quincy they tell him there is no such thing as furlough there that as soon as they get ready they send them to the Invalid Corps. I know it is through your efforts that the Illinois Troops have been transferred to their own states and that is your desire to make them as comfortable as the circumstances will admit but it does look hard to put a man in the hospital and tell him he can't go out on any conditions whatever. in all probability you are not aware <hr /> that such a thing is in existence and will do something to remedy it I have no doubt if he could get home for a couple of months he would be fit for service again but if he is kept in the hospital I am afraid he will not live long for he is so anxious to get home it preys on his mind and keeps him back I know a few words from you would set the matter right and I think I can venture to say save the life of a man that is very dear to his family and may yet do some good for his country and releive an anxious wife, hoping you will excuse the liberty I have taken and grant my request.

I know it is through your efforts that the Illinois Troops have been transferred to their own states and that is your desire to make them as comfortable as the circumstances will admit but it does look hard to put a man in the hospital and tell him he can't go out on any conditions whatever. in all probability you are not aware <hr /> that such a thing is in existence and will do something to remedy it I have no doubt if he could get home for a couple of months he would be fit for service again but if he is kept in the hospital I am afraid he will not live long for he is so anxious to get home it preys on his mind and keeps him back I know a few words from you would set the matter right and I think I can venture to say save the life of a man that is very dear to his family and may yet do some good for his country and releive an anxious wife, hoping you will excuse the liberty I have taken and grant my request. I will close. if you think this worth an answer I will be very thankful for it.

St. Louis. Missouri 24. Sept. 1863 Box 2908. To His Excellency Richard Yates Esqr. Governor of Illinois. Dear Sir, I am more than pleased with the kind notice you take of my letter, but after the perusal of your communication, will you permit me to add this. That I think my being here is very opportune to the measures you have put on foot in Great Britain, for this reason. I am a practical Miner and Collier, and could render much aid to the efforts being made in England, in this way, I can write letters specially addressed to the Miners and Colliers of Great Britain, which they could not fail to understand, and get them circulated in publications which chiefly prevail amongst them, whilst your friends would, I dare say, by public meetings, or other means, be doing the best they could to prevail on Miners to leave England & come here. <hr /> I cannot but think that their efforts would be much strengthened and expedited, by the publication of my letters coming from an independent source upon the spot. The English miners, are a very independent and thoughtful class of men, & judge for themselves, and I humbly submit, that the effect of a written application, (which it would amount to) or letter or address, would have as much or more weight on their minds, than a speech - the one is heard and partly forgotten, the other is read and pondered over, and it needs something of that character to induce men, good for anything, to break up their homes and remove to a foreign country - but as I honestly believe, & know that they would better themselves, and permanently so too. I should feel it both a pleasure and duty to use all fair and honorable inducements that lay in my power to prevail on them to take that important step - and they would want nothing more than the plain state of the case fairly put before them without exaggeration. There are certain particulars, and <hr /> prices with regard to the details of the work, so much more to their advantage than ever they derive in Great Britain, that I have no doubt would have great weight with them and which I should throw light upon. I think about 3 months would be quite sufficient to thoroughly ventilate the subject and if I had $300 guaranteed to me, besides travelling expenses, I would at once set about it. There is a letter in the Morning Edition of the "St. Louis Union" that I wrote on the mineral & agricultural resources of Missouri for publication in England, which Col. Broadhead, prov. Marshal General, thought sufficiently interesting for publication here - I send you the paper. I have written to the President by same post, similar in purport to this letter and must again commend the matter to your own consideration - & am, Dear Sir, Yours very faithfully James McKenzie <hr /> File M McKensie. James. St Louis. Sept. 24th Continues to agitate the mining question. Is much gratified by the notice taken of his letters. Wishes to impress upon your Exy the fact that he is a practical miner & can influence the people of Old England. Consequently will be able to render great assistance File Ex Office 28th Sept 1863.
