<p>Union Pacific Railway Company, Eastern Division. St. Louis, July 1st 1864
</p><p>Dear Sir: The Government of the United States, a little more than a year ago, with a wisdom looking far beyond the burdens and anxieties of the hour, provided aid for the construction of a Railroad from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean. Stimulated by its liberality, and by the spirit of American enterprise, the work has been undertaken; and already the first section of forty miles is approaching completion. The opening of this Section -- giving earnest to the people of the Country that, within the time prescribed by law, the great highway will be built to San Francisco -- bringing into closer union the States of the Atlantic and the Pacific, and offering to the industrial enterprises of our people the incalculable wealth of a Continent is an event worthy of commemoration by the leading men of America.
</p><p>You are respectfully invited to attend the celebration and will be received by the Committee of Arrangements at Weston, Missouri, on the 18th day of August next, on the arrival of the morning train from the East.
</p><p>Upon the receipt from you of an acceptance of this Invitation, addressed to me at 58 Beaver St. New York you will be furnished with a free pass to Kansas and return, good over all the principal intermediate Roads. Faithfully yours Sam'l Hallett

<p>Quincy Illinois 1 July 1864
</p><p>To His Excellency Richard Yates
Governor of Illinois
Springfield Illinois
</p><p>Sir Our towns-man and friend George W. Burns late Paymaster U. S. Volunteers, but who had resigned last Spring is in confinement in Texas, we suppose at Fort Tyler west of Shrevesport Texas. He was a passenger in the transport Emma which came in rather started down Red River with 13' army corps loaded with civilians and was captured under following circumstances extracted from a letter from one of the crew of the Emma to Mrs Burns. He says “The Emma left Alexandria for New Orleans on the morning of May 1st 1864, about thirty miles below we were attacked by the rebels and Captured, our boat burnt and we (crew & passengers) all started off for Texas arriving at

There are about 5000 prisoners there. X X X X When I left on 28' May I did not know that I was to be released. I was ordered to Shreveport tho head quarters of Gen Kirby Smith & then was informed that I was released in return for some citizens that Gen. Steele had released, he informed me that he held the folks captured on the Emma and three other boats because Gen. Steele and Banks had arrested and carried off citizens when they retreated from Alexandria and Camden, I think if you could get Gov. Yates of your state to write to Genls Steels and Canby and represent to them that these persons are not held as prisoners of war but only as hostages for citizens that Kirby Smith says
