&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;August 12, 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To his Excellency, Richard Yates, Governor of the State of Illinois,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My husband, Charles B. Kempel, was severely wounded in the battle near Marietta Georgia, on the 27th day of June 1864.  He has four holes in his right shoulder.  He was taken from the battle field and sent to the Hospital at Nashville Tennessee where he remained for a number of weeks.  He has recently been transferred to Joe Holt Hospital, Jeffersonville Ind, where he now is.  He has also been very sick, but is getting better so that he is able to get about.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would most respectfully ask your Honor, to grant permission, or if necessary, use your influence, to have
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my husband, Charles B. Kempel, transferred to Camp Butler at Springfield Ills.  Or else grant him a fourlough to come home untill he is able to go to the front.  I would be very glad if you would secure for him a fourlough to come home for twenty or thirty days.  I feel confident that he would get well much sooner, by being at home and having the care and attention of his wife and family, than he will at the Hospital.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will enclose you a Coppy of my husband's recommendation, give by Lieutenant William D. Faulkner, of Company D. 86th Regt. Ills. Vol. Infty.  Commanding Company, of which my husband is a member.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping Sir, that your Honor will be so kind as to grant my above request 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I subscribe myself yours most respectfully, Elizabeth Kempel.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Coppy of Recommendation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Private, Charles B. Kempel, is a &lt;u&gt;good,&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;brave&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;faithful&lt;/u&gt; soldier, and as such has discharged every duty while with his Company and took part in the following engagements, Bussard Roost Feb. 25, 1864, Battles of Resaca May 15, Rome May 17th, Dallas May 27, Battle near Marietta June 27, 1864 in which he received his wound.

&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;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;Mil Agt for Ill.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Howe, Frank. E.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York N.Y. Aug 10, 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Transmitting report of sick and wounded Ills soldiers &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ans Aug 25 64

&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.

Gov. Yates
Dear Sir,
Our Methodist friends were a little exercised the other day when the appointment of the committee on the land grant by the General Government for Agriculture &amp;amp; Mechanical College purposes.  The occasion was this, that, out of a committee of seven, you had placed upon the committee very prominant Gentlemen from almost every other denomination of Christiasn except - the Methodist Church, which is the most numerous, and influential 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of any other in the state, and too, the church that has done more for education in the state than any other. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You know that there are always efforts made by these church men to draw these institutions under their patronage.  In this instance it should not be done, and as our friends say they only want to watch to see that this is not done.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am requested to say to you, that if it is consistent with your views of propriety, that you add two members to the committee and make it Nine instead of seven.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The names of Revd. Robert Allyn D.D. of Lebanon, the President of McKindry College
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and Revd Thomas M. Eddy D.D. of Chicago.  To these gentlemen you can send certificates of their appointment and it will all appear as original 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With many good wishes for your self and family.  I remain as ever
Your friend
J.W. Waughop
