Gen Hospital No 3 Vicksburg Dec 26/63 Hon Mr Yates Dear Sir you will think it strange to receive a letter from a Lady with regard to military matters - but has not Woman done much & can she not still do something - I paid the Ill Infantry a visit & found all but 4 or 5 boys in fine spirits those I found low spirited & nearly broken hearted - near a year ago a little Trouble occured & these boys was put under arest - it was done through their unpricipaled Capt T. M. Rose of Co. G. & those Boys are still under arest their present Col. Coats. tells me he got up a partition & had it approved by Gen. McPherson & sent to Gen. Grant to have them released -yesterday he recd an answer saying he could do nothing until the sentence at Washington was comuted now no one knew thare was a sentence on the nature <hr /> of it if any -- today I found them in dispar they knew thare was papers sent to Washington they have never had a trial & are kept in [illegible] [illegible] - have drawn no pay & some of them have families with little children -- they are all of them good & faithful Boys as all in the Reg pronounce them such. they have the entire sympathy of the commanding officers from Col down - now my object Sir is to ask you to do something for those brave boys that helped to elect you to your position & would do it again & more than that they stood so bravely at Donolson & at Shilo & have suffered the long & tedious seige here at Vicksburg -- they only wish to be relieved that they can take a part in the duty of the rest of the Reg -- they are good boys & all of them ocupied respectible positions at home -- but as they told me they are only Privates & can do nothing - but thank God it is the Private that will gain the great victory if it is ever gained. now Sir will you telegraph to Washington & see whare the trouble is <hr /> & why it is that those Boys are kept here in the dark - Gen Ransome sent the papers but he has gone & left the matter silent I no I do not appeal to you in vain. They are our own Ill Boys & ought to receive the sympathy of every Citizen of the state -- hoping to hear from you & be the mesenger of glad tidings to the hearts of those boys that are nearly broken I will close Very Respectfully yours Mary A. Newcomb Matron of Gen Hospital no 3 The names of the Boys are Thomas Griffith from Effingham Ill Wade Mathews do [ditto] Ill Wm Wilcox do [ditto] Ill [Mr. Honme?] do [ditto] Ill I have written this without the knowledge of the Boys - I do not [illegible] new [illegible] to their already overflowing cup M.A.N. <hr /> Newcomb Mary Vickburgh Dec 26 63 Has visited the 11th Regt. found 4 or 5 men who are under arrest, wishes Governor to use his enfluence to have them released.

New York Dec. 27th 1863 Hon. Richard Yates - Dear Sir - According to your request, I write to remind you of the subject, in relation to which I called upon you while in this city. As I then informed you, situated as I am, with two young children, it is almost impossible for me to obtain employment sufficiently remunerative to aid very materially towards our support, and though very fortunate in having my parents spared to me, they are quite advanced in life, and I cannot be dependent on them - consequently I feel that upon my own efforts rests <hr /> the present care and future education of my helpless children, so early deprived of a father's protection. During the time that my husband was employed in your service, I earnestly believe him to have been devoted to your interests, and faithful in the discharge of the duties assigned to him; and I make this appeal to you, hoping that if there is any amount due to him, you will, as you promised, interest yourself in my cause. I believe you to have been a kind friend to my husband, and now may I not hope that that same friendly assistance may be extended to me? My address is 9 Lewis St. - this city.
