&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;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;New England Soldiers' Relief Association,
&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;Frank E. Howe.

&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
