Marsh of the 12th Ill Cav. Capt Marsh carries a right arm by his side nearly palsied or rendered useless by a wound received during that ever to be remembered raid of Gen Stoneman on Richmond in May / 63. The Capt is anxious yet to do all he can towards “putting down this Rebellion” & would still lead his Company in battle although unable to defend himself. Were it not for Rheumatic difficulties that seem to have taken possession of his system, ocasioned undoubtedly from long exposure, he thinks that he may be more useful to the Govt if employed in some detached service. I can reccommend Capt Marsh for integrity & ability, having been a personal freind and acquaintance for many years & one of our working friends. Please assist him <hr /> to some honorable & lucrative position if you can. I will endorse the Capt for most anything for I know him to be made of the Right Kind of Metal. The genuine “[Thing?]” and much oblige Your obt servt Geo J. Bergen I most cheerfully concur in the above. The Capt was the Republican candidate for sheriff in Fulton, in 1860 and did very much in that county (which seem to be “[illegible] to believe a lie”) to diffuse [illegible] gospel light and make [republican?] [roles?] at that time. I am Your Excellency's Obt Servt Clark E Carr <hr /> Bergen, George J. Galesburg. Feb 10, 1864. Recommending Cap G.A. Marsh of 12th Ills Cavalry (who has been disabled in active Service) for Some position in detached Service which is fully concurred in by Clark E. Carr. Strong recommendatory letter to Secretary of War given to Capt Marsh Feb 4 64 Recited his service in Va & requested his appt as Cavy Inspector (of horses) at Chicago or some other point in the West. Capt M was much pleased with the letter.
