&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To his Excellency,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My object in writing is to ascertain whether you know any thing of a person representing herself as Mrs. Major Gage and commissioned by you.  She is medium hight dark red hair and very prominent blue eyes.  She says her brother Dr. Bennet was medical director on Gen. Banks Staff. She was taken in our house very late one night out of charity, and when she left, she took clothing to the amount of fifty dollars.  We thought it best to apply to you, as you could inform us where draws her pay.  As to references to who I am, I refer
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you to my relatives Judge Browning of Quincy, and Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan of Jacksonville, Ill.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will confer a very great favor by attending to this immediately.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hallie L. Wright
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bladensburg,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Md.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To his Excellency,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My object in writing is to ascertain whether you know any thing of a person representing herself as Mrs. Major Gage and commissioned by you.  She is medium hight dark red hair and very prominent blue eyes.  She says her brother Dr. Bennet was medical director on Gen. Banks Staff. She was taken in our house very late one night out of charity, and when she left, she took clothing to the amount of fifty dollars.  We thought it best to apply to you, as you could inform us where draws her pay.  As to references to who I am, I refer
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you to my relatives Judge Browning of Quincy, and Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan of Jacksonville, Ill.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will confer a very great favor by attending to this immediately.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hallie L. Wright
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bladensburg,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Md.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ansd Nov 10. 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;File W
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wright Hallie L
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bladensburgh Oct 23 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wishes to whether the Governor knows any thing of a person representing herself as Mrs Major Gage.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Write I know no such person
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She has no commn from me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Executive Office Oct 28 63

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Snyder
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I received a letter this evening from my husband, Caleb Letton, he is in the Hospital at New Albany Ind. and has the Rheumatism very bad also his eyesight is failing him very fast, he has not received any pay for eight months, and his wages is all that I have to support myself and five children on.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He dont think he will ever be fit for the service again, and if you will show this to the Gov. and get him to use his influence, with the war Department, in getting a discharge for my husband, you will confer a great favor upon a soldiers wife. I would be very much obliged to you, if you could let me know in a few days, what can be done.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mrs. Caleb Letton.
