Cannot you give me encouragement or aid? I am not a [illegible] woman and would gladly <hr /> assist to nurse and care for the wounded; if I was only there, Perhaps you receive a great many letters like this and will not heed mine. but I feel that you will at least sympathize with me, in common with others.

Chicago 3d Nov 1863 My Dear Mrs Yates I received your very welcome letter and the beautiful Book marks. Some of dear Katies sold as high as a dollar apiece. All sold well, and were highly appreciated I have been constantly looking to see you, although you have given no encourgment. Yourself and the Govnor are certainly needed and would be most welcome. Our little rooms are waiting for you and the dear children. It seems to me you must come. I am not too much engrossed in the Fair, and we can have a good time seeing and visiting. We shall not leave for Colorado before the middle of the month Henry is very well and doing finely. He has for his roommate one of the <hr /> very best young men in the uni[ver]sity. He loves Henry and is anxious to serve him to the best of his ability. Dr. Burroughs and his wife are to occupy our house until we return. How long we shall be gone, we cannot tell Probably six weeks or two months. Janie and [Hery Spring?] will remain at home with them. I do so much hope you will come. I think you would enjoy being here now, and every body would enjoy seeing you. I am ashamed that I have not acknowledged the letter and sixty dollars from the Govenor by Mr Thomas Dr Brooks bill was forty dollars, and as Henry wished to pay some bills and buy some wood and some small things and as he understood that he was to have the remainder I gave him the other twenty. I went with him and helped him to select his bookcase and <hr /> window Shades. The shades Mr W. has paid for, but the bill for the bookcase has not been presented. Mr. W. has also let him have some little money at different times, but Dr. Burrghs thinks that the boys ought not to have money to spend, excepting as they report every cent to their Parents, as it begets wants which are unnecessary. I have dear Katie has recovered sufficiently to come. The change will do her good and sweet Dickey bless him I looked to see if you would like to have me purchase something at the Fair for you, but hope you will come If you cannot tell me what to buy if you would like something.

Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. Honorable Richard Yates Governor of Illinois It cannot have escaped your accurate observation that multitudes of our selfsacrificing soldiers rescued from the battlefield are dying monthly in our military hospitals. After carefully looking at the facts we are overwhelmed by the conviction that a large percentage of these sick could be restored to health, to their friends & to the army, if the sick & wounded who are not too far reduced to permit them to make the journey, were sent from the malicious districts of the south to their friends, or northern hospitals. This is a sufficient reason <hr /> why the parents of our own Illinois troops should plead, as Wisconsin has already successfully done, for the establishment of an extension state Hospital in southern Illinois. We see that it is more economical also to carry the sick man to his food in a healthful climate rich with abundant harvests than to ship his food to him. Fewer vessels would be needed; fewer men employed hence a great gain in time & money. Another weighty reason for this transfer of our enfeebled soldiers is found in the satisfaction it would give to the men themselves & to their parents & friends. "Let me die at home" is a natural & universal wish. Shall we trifle with this wish in those who have willingly offered themselves for their country? <hr /> Or shall we refuse the sick, their only boon they ask, to be in the heart of their family, or near their homes; since all the comforts of the sick room can be so much more easily obtained at the north, with the best of nursing & the most healthful air. A state hospital in Illinois, for such as have not homes to which they would prefer to be sent, that would accommodate our sick we are confident would save the lives of hundreds; & every soldier thus saved, is dear to a circle of friends, & would strengthen our army by making him a strong veteran for the ranks & a bond of union, drawing his whole circle of friends nearer to our government that shows such parental care of its warriors. When an officer becomes much debilitated he is granted leave of ab- <hr /> sence & after a brief tarry at home he usually returns strong & well for duty. Why should we deny to the private soldier that which so benefits his superior? Is it objected, the soldier will never return? Let the multitude that are now returning after a few weeks or months at home be an answer to this objection. Some worthless men would not return; but those who love their country, on whom dependence could be placed in the hour of danger & of battle will return. Gratitude for kind care of them will strengthen their love of country: And shall the good be sacrificed in unhealthy climates because the coward will meanly bide himself at home? Over <hr /> Nothing will give our administration a stronger hold on the affections of all voters than this benevolent care of their sons & brothers. As a most wise strategic movement, a policy for strengthening its hand, let the parents of the country know that their sick sons may go north to be nursed & one of the strongest obstacles to the new call for 300,000 men would be removed. If it be possible to grand this request for Illinois soldiers the blessing of thousand will come upon you & your petitioner will [illegible] for the same. Mrs. Jeremiah Porter Vicksburg Miss Nov 3rd 1863 <hr /> Porter, Mrs. Jeremiah Vicksburg Nov 3 63 Suffering Soldiers <hr /> [illegible] 17 A. C.
