Cairo April the 24th 1864 Your Excellency! We wish heartily you would come down here and convince yourself of the miserable state we are in. Encamped in the imense quagmire round Cairo we are after having escaped the perils of war in imminent danger of being swallowed up by sickness. The alluvial soil round here is by the least rain converted into a swamp as we are at present wading ankle deep in the mud or in dry weather the stench, arising from the decaying vegetable matter is sure to finish up what bullets in the South could not do. I wish, every father and every mother in Illinois who has a son in the army might come down here and see with their own <hr /> eyes how the lives of the defenders of the country are trifled with, and I am sure a cry of indignation would rise over the land and hurl into merited disgrace the stupid planner of this Reorganisation Camp. You always looked with the most scrupulous care upon the welfare of the Illinois soldiers, and are for that very reason almost idolized by them, even now the only talk amongst them is : "If but Dick knew how we are situated, it would soon be altered." Well Sir, although but a private, I dare to let you known our situation, because I known if it is in your power, you will make an alteration. Send us up to the front, we will have a chance, or anyhow <hr /> die a honorable death but don't let your men rot away in the swamp or get disabled by rheumatism or fever Most Respectfully I sign Yours obedient Servant A.

His name is Silas Jackson. He enlisted in Morgan Co. in the 101st Reg. Co K. He was taken sick in Vicksburg and afterward sent to the Hospital in Columbus, while there the nurse wrote to his wife & informed her of his severe illness & the desirableness of her coming to see him. <hr /> <pre>She had a horse, a cow & several hogs, part of which she sold to obtain the means to go to her husband. The neighbors took her children & cared for them in her absence. She stayed with her husband till he was able to be moved, when he obtained a furlough & spent three months at home. He was then ordered to Quincy & has been here six months in the Hospital Owing to some trouble about getting his descriptive role. I think it is eleven months since he has received one dollar from Gov. Meanwhile his family have suffered &, his wife says, must have starved but for the neighbors. </pre> A month ago, or more, his wife received a letter saying he was very sick--probably could not get better & was very desirous to see <hr /> <pre>her. Again the friends, she has no relatives, took the four children--tho it was cold, she sold even her shawl & came here in a most destitute condition. By her careful nursing & care, he has so far improved that she thinks he is able to go home. She must leave in the course of a few days, as she is near confinement. His disease is of the heart & liver. Physicians say he can never return to the army, but still there seems no readiness, to grant his discharge. I promised her that I would write to you & see if Gov. Yates could do any thing to accomplish his discharge. Their circumstances are certainly pitiable. Friends have done what they could to clothe her & have collected some things for her children, while she takes care of her husband she sews, to get, if </pre> <hr /> possible the five dollars she borrowed when she left home.
