&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The friends of
Mr. William R. Moore are circulating
a petition to have him discharged. I am
satisfied with the facts set up in the petition.
Moore's family are in a desperate condition
and if you can do anything to assist in
getting him discharged it would be an act 
of humanity as I am Satisfied the government
would not detain him on the facts
presented to the proper department. It strikes 
me that you might forward this Petition
on with it [illegible], the Secty of War, and
get him discharged if that could not be
done and he could get a furlough 
for a few months, it would be of great
benefit and his Phisician thinks might
restore him entirely. Anything you may
do to forward a the object of the Petitioners
will be a special favor to your
old Friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;R. L. Cassell
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;over
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please advise me what you think
about the matter upon receipt of this as
his friends are very anxious to take some
course to get him home as they believe that
and that only will Save his life
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They are all truly loyal and have no other
motive in [illegible.]

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aug. 10th 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon. J.A. Arnold.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am a citizen of Cook Co. (town of Orland. I have been politicaly with the Antislavery party I entered the army three years ago, with the full belief that this war would end slavery wherever our starry flag was unfurled. In this my opinion has undergone no change, but rather been strenthened I am twenty five years old and feel confident I am able to fill the position I 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; seek.  I believe I can do better service as an officer in a colored regiment than I can here a member of the 39th Ill.  Our State has again been called on for a large number of her citizens
&lt;p&gt;Under this call recruiting is allowed in rebel states.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I fell sure our governer will take every advantage to prevent a drafft in our justly proud State.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recruits thus obtained will mostly be negroes.  Officers will have to be appointed to command them.  If I can procure an appointment it is what I ask.  If three years experience adds anything to a man's qualifications or claims I posess that experience, I can forward at 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; the proper time and to the proper persons testimonials of good soldierly behavior and of good moral character 
&lt;p&gt;You may ask why I have not gone before the board at Washington for the examination of persons aspiring to such positions.  I will say I did procure such permission from that Bureau but I was here at the time of its recipt. and could not procure a leave from Gen Butler to go to Washington for examination.  I would also rather serve in my own state troops.  Sir, I solicit your influence in this because I know your heart is in the cause because you represent our Co. in our national legislature  If in this matter you can lend 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; your influence consistantly You will oblige one who is ever for the good old Union.  
&lt;p&gt;Respectfully submitted
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Sir, your most humble Servant 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Joseph R. Ward Jr.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Co G. 39th Ill Vol
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
To Hon I.A. Arnold.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully returned to Gov. Yates. with the hope that the appl. may be made.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I.N. Arnold
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No. 194 BROADWAY,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York, August 10th 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ill.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By this days Express I have the honor to forward to your Excellency my report of sick and wounded Soldiers belonging to Illinois regiments who have been admitted to Hospitals in and near this City and there visited by my agents from April 1st 1864 to July 1st 1864: together with such Transfers, Returns to Duty, Discharges and Deaths as have occurred during the same period. The delay in the rendition of my report has been occasioned by the greatly increased number of sick and wounded men who have been admitted into Hospitals in and near this City from the battle fields of the Army of the Potomac and elsewhere during the last three months demanding a large amount of additional labor in their visitation and care as well as in gathering and preparing the necessary material for State reports.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This report is entirely independant
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of the number of Soldiers who have been received and cared for at the New England Soldiers Relief Association having reference to the Admissions and final dispositions of Illinois Soldiers in hospitals in and near this city during the past three months.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The number of U. S. A. hospitals now visited by my agents has been increased to thirteen to accomodate the additional number of sick, wounded and worn out soldiers who have been sent here for treatment: the names and location of such hospitals please find on Schedule accompanying. The report herewith furnished your Excellency has been prepared with care trusting that while it may be acceptable as an official document from its detail of facts it will afford to those of your citizens more closely interested in its names a fund of interesting information and a relief from suspense and anxiety
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obt Svt

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My dear sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The loyal people of this part of the state, view with alarm the persistant designs of men who call themselves Democrats---but who are really without a name save that of traitor to our country, and we feel that in order to resist their well organized plots---we should prepare ourselves for whatever they may have in store for us, by &lt;u&gt;arming&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp;  &lt;u&gt;drilling&lt;/u&gt; in &lt;u&gt;each&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;neighborhood&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; thus showing to our enemies at home &amp;amp; abroad that we are in earnest in what we profess---viz---the restoration of our beloved country. we therefore ask, that two hundred stand of arms be sent us by the state of Illinois for which we will be responsible for their return when all danger is over.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our enemies are armed &amp;amp; we should not delay as the welfare of our state depends on a counteracting influance &amp;amp; that speedily.  I write at the urgent request of the Loyal League of Warren.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gent.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bearer, Col Harry McArthur, will start this evening for the South for the purpose of finding and bringing back with him his Son, Capt F H McArthur of the 9th Illinois Cavalry, lately severely wounded in battle.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It will probably be necessary for the Bearer to take with him a Military Pass, or at least some evidence of his loyalty and of his object, and at his request I write you, respectfully requesting you to aid him as he may require, and hoping that he may not be delayed in route to his suffering Son.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both Father &amp;amp; Son have from the very commencement of the rebellion done all in their power for the Union Cause, and they are certainly deserving of every favor which can be shown them now.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I remain, Gent, Very Respectfully Yr obt svt

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gent.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bearer, Col Harry McArthur, will start this evening for the South for the purpose of finding and bringing back with him his Son, Capt F H McArthur of the 9th Illinois Cavalry, lately severely wounded in battle.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It will probably be necessary for the Bearer to take with him a Military Pass, or at least some evidence of his loyalty and of his object, and at his request I write you, respectfully requesting you to aid him as he may require, and hoping that he may not be delayed in route to his suffering Son.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both Father &amp;amp; Son have from the very commencement of the rebellion done all in their power for the Union Cause, and they are certainly deserving of every favor which can be shown them now.
