Governor of Illinois
Springfield Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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 &amp;amp; passengers) all started off for Texas arriving at
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tyler where the prisoners are kept, we had a pretty rough time, on the way out but were in good health and we all got along pretty well, none of our party were injured in any way. 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 &amp;amp; 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 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;they hold, that they would be released in a very short time.”  The letter from which the above is extracted is dated 24 June 1864.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We most respectfully ask of you officially to communicate as soon as it can be done, with the War Department, General Canby at New Orleans and General Steele at Little Rock and endeavour to procure Burns release.  He is a civilian and we think you intervention will bring it about.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov State Illinois --
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A recent trip to New York from which place I have but this morning returned, will I trust be a sufficient apology for delay in acknowledging your favor of the 29th ult.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I thank you very much for your carte d'viste to which your autograph is subscribed.  I shall place it with much pleasure in my photographic Album with cartes of other distinguished personages.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I must decline receiving any money from you for subscription to my paper.  If it pleases you, I am more than amply compensated by your good opinion.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have several relatives in New York who are your warm admirers however, and if you could spare me two or three more of your Cartes De Visite with your signature attached, I should esteem it a great favor to forward them where they would be highly appreciated.  Hoping that continued success and prosperity may crown your future, as it has signally marked your past career, and that you may continue to be as warmly [illegible] by true patriots as [illegible] hated by Copperheads - I have the honor to be 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obdt Servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stanley G. Fowler
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fowler Stanley G.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago July 3rd 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks Governor for his photograph. declines receiving any money for subscription to his paper.  Wishes two or three more photographs -- 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(File)

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov State Illinois --
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A recent trip to New York from which place I have but this morning returned, will I trust be a sufficient apology for delay in acknowledging your favor of the 29th ult.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I thank you very much for your carte d'viste to which your autograph is subscribed.  I shall place it with much pleasure in my photographic Album with cartes of other distinguished personages.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I must decline receiving any money from you for subscription to my paper.  If it pleases you, I am more than amply compensated by your good opinion.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have several relatives in New York who are your warm admirers however, and if you could spare me two or three more of your Cartes De Visite with your signature attached, I should esteem it a great favor to forward them where they would be highly appreciated.  Hoping that continued success and prosperity may crown your future, as it has signally marked your past career, and that you may continue to be as warmly [illegible] by true patriots as [illegible] hated by Copperheads - I have the honor to be 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obdt Servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stanley G. Fowler
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; which is the object of my writing that is why the Honerable govnor of our noble state of Illinois dose not after his valiant soldiers has fought and been disabled for at least Sixty days and some for life are not as troops of other states caled to thery state to be taken care of an spend a few days with their famleys home thay have not seen for two years and have served at the extreme front all of that time whare blood and carnage has been more common than erything else  I would Mension that thare is a number of your Brave soldiers here and are wounded and I consider it not only My privlidge to inform you of the fact but My Duty to do so that they are very much out of heart when they evry day see troops from all other states going home to their famley while we are 
&lt;hr /&gt; are left her appearently without a friend to speak in our behalf I would also say that these men are good soldiers and Braved many a hard fought Battle and do not propose to complain of having to fight on until the rebellion shall be totally annihilated but we do think that after Men are disabled it is not by eny means fair to keep them here whare thay are poorly cared for an not allowd to even walk out of this enclosure we are satisfyed that your prompted attension is paid to raising the troops to put down this rebelion we are led to believe yours will pay some attension to the care of your wounded as other states are evry day doing sending them the worried wounded soldier with a lite heart to his own state whare if he cannot get the privlidge to go home his 
&lt;hr /&gt; friends and famley can come and see him after which he could again return to the field and cherfully shoulder his musket in the Defence of his countrys cause
&lt;p&gt;I do not wish to be caled Enquisitive nor accused of using any [preanutions?] conversation but with respect to you and to My fellow soldier consider I am at liberty to inform your honor of the present condition of your wounded men at this hospital
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;hoping it will Meet with your immediate attension and for further facts ask your honorable Agent of Ills A.A. Dunseth

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Represent how the disabled Soldiers of other States instead of being Cooped up within the boundaries of an Hospital. are allowed home to recruit their health, when no such privilege is allowed to Ills Soldiers -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Loomis  I wish to see you in relation to this -
