&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By request of a number of the 101st Regt who landed here on board of the steamer Bart Able from Louisville and New Albany Sunday night the 10th, I write this.  There is thirteen of us all wounded except one and some of them sick and quite feable, probably will never recover their health.  We wer regularly transfered to our own state by the Comd of the  Dept. of the Ohio and dont know why we ar not sent forward (to Springfield,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Col you are selected as one to use your influence, and believe you have influence, and will use it, with Gov Yates, to have us sent to Springfield as soon as possible, so we can get to make a visit to home, while we are not able for duty.  We claim according to Genl Grants order to transfer all wounded men to their own states, that we have a right to request the Govenor to see we have our rightes, believeing at the same time that you are our friend and will do 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;what you can to have, by your influence with the Gov, this thing accomplished.  We have received no pay for the last seven months, and our families at home  are neading our assistance at home to make arrangements and procure means for them to live untill we receive pay.  We have been in the front for a long time trying to supress this Cursed Rebellion and have got badly hurt, have never had a furlough, and now -- claim that we have a right to visit our homes.  Col do what you can and let us hear from you soon. no more but remain as ever
&lt;p&gt;yours with respect
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E R Henry
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Col Snyder   Jacksonville July 15" 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;will you please have the above attended to immediately [thereby?] attend to the wants of wounded soldiers
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chas. H. Fox
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;Henry. E.R. 101st. Regt.
&lt;p&gt;Jefferson Barracks. Mo.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;July 13. 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enquires why 13 men of this Regt Sick &amp;amp; wounded after having been transferred to their own State, are detained at this place, with pay 7 months in arrear and their help So much needed at home.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York, July 11th 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency Rich. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Referring to your letter dated March 7th 1864, addressed to W.M. Vermilye Esq. - (then acting as President pro-tem of this Bank,) I beg to say, that the object of Mr. Vermilye, in seeking the information therein contained, was simply, to verify the position held by your State Officers, in the matter of the appropriation for retiring the "W. Alister &amp;amp; Stebbins Bonds".
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the receipt of your favor, our late President - Mr. Freeman - who had the Charge of this matter has returned from Europe, and resigned his office. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having been recently elected President, in the room of Mr. Freeman, I beg to offer to your Excellency, the disposition of this Bank to effect some settlement of the vexed question Concerning these Bonds.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At a recent interview with Hon A Starne Treasurer of your State, I mentioned to him that our Board of Directors do not feel willing to accept the terms offered by your Excellency's letter, above referred to.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The established policy of the United States, is to pay coin for their matured indebtedness, and I ventured to suggest to Mr. S. a similar measure in the instance before us.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should this course be acceptable to your Fund - Commissioners, I sincerely believe that I could bring about a final settlement of these Bonds, and, I have no doubt, 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of the other Bonds embraced in the provision of law mentioned in your letter.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be pleased to consider this, and favor me with a reply at your earliest Convenience.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your obed Servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. H. Fonda
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.s
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fonda J H.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York July 11 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McAlester &amp;amp; Stebbens Bonds.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ansd July 26th 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hirshbach
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look up "Vermilyes'es letter &amp;amp; return to me with this.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be particular to do this on Monday.
&lt;/p&gt;
