Springfield Nov 21st 1864 Hon Richard Yates Governor Dr Sir I have the honour herewith to submit for your Consideration a plan for the Establishment of an Agency in this City for the relief and protection of Soldiers, their widows, orphans & friends. The plan I think will commend itself as one very much needed, and will be of vast benefit to a needy and most worthy class of persons. Should an Office be established in Washington, this is just what is wanted to prepare & forward claims, - Each would be an advantage to the other, and between the two it is hoped all honest & worthy claimants will be protected. Very Respy Your Obt Svt Edw I. Eno <hr /> Plan for Ill State War claim Agency By Edwd. I Eno. Springfield Nov 11th 64 <hr /> with Edward I. Emo letter 11/21/64 Plan for an Illinois State Sanitary War Claim Agency to be Established in Springfield Illinois. Its Object 1st To secure soldiers & their families any Claims for pensions pay or bounty without cost to the Claimant. 2nd To protect soldiers & their families from imposition and fraud. 3d To give gratuitous advice to Soldiers and their families, who may need it. To bring the knowledge of the Agency to every claimant I would respectfully suggest to your Excellency that the Aid Societies throughout the State be requested to Act as corespondents and distributors of information. Through them Every claimant can be made acquainted with the Agency and have their claims properly presented. <hr /> Fund for Assisting Claimants I would recommend that if the State make a liberal appropriation for Sanitary purpurposes, that a portion of the money say $10,000 - be set aside and appropriated for the purpose of making advances to realy needy persons; thusly preventing the necessity of selling their Claims at a ruinous sacrifice. When we consider that a large Majority of Claimants need every dollar due them and actualy suffer or become a charge upon the benevolent for the want of it, the importance of some such provision is at once apparent. There could be no loss of such a fund for when the claims are collected the amount advanced is deducted. I have practiced this on a small scale in Nashvill & know its importance.

Head Qtrs Illinois Military & Sanitary Agency Memphis Tenn Nov 22 1864 His Excellency Richard Yates Governor of Illinois Springfield Illinois Sir. In my late tour of inspection in the Department of the Cumberland, I visited Lookout Mountain Hospital, at Chattanooga Tennessee. Aside from the ordinary interest excited by visiting a locality now become famous, the occasion was one long to be remembered by me, by reason of an incident, which will form the material [post?] of this communication. The Illinois Soldiers, diseased and wounded, inmates of the hospital I have named, wished to testify in our humble way, their appreciation of the self- sacrificing intrest manifested in their behalf upon all occasions by your Excellency. To that end, they commisioned me in their behalf, to present to you the cane accompanying this this letter, trusting that you might accept it, not for its intrinsic value merely, for that is small, but as <hr /> an [illegible] of their gratitude and lasting esteem. It is of laurel wood, commonly called by the natives iron wood, by reason of its hardness, and was cut by the eldest of their number, from over the summit of the Mountain. Will your Excellency please accept it, as the gift of honest, brave and patriotic hearts. The Soldiers is no Diplomatist. He is all unused to flattery - He speaks right out the sentiments of his heart, whither it be in hearty condemnation of treason, covert or avowed, or in grateful acknowledgements of kindnesses received. Rest assured then, that this expression, whatever be its worth, has at least the merit of being an honest one. With this cane, this Soldiers also wished me to return to your Excellency their thanks for all done by you in their behalf, and to extend their hope and prayer, that after you shall have vacated your office, as soon you will be called upon to do health and prosperity may attend you wherever, or in whatever position, public or private you may be, and especially that nothing may ever arise to cause you to regret your efforts and labors in behalf of the volunteers of Illinois, in the Great Army of the Union. With sentiments of personal esteem, in behalf of these sick and wounded soldiers, I am Governor-very Respectfully Your Obedient Thos. P. Robb Col & Agent <hr /> Governor. This communication was first suggested by Genl Oglesby- since by many friends - an answer from you will not only be gratifying to the latter, but to our Soldiers in the field and in hospital. Please direct to me here. I am waiting very impatiently for my new [orders?] instructions. as my time is limited - on receipt, will you please telegraph brief instruction to visit - N.O. & inspect Hospitals [illegible] - it will answer just as well - Respectfully T.P. Robb Col & Agt P.S. I have written Genl Oglesby this date - T.P.R <hr /> Prepare answers dating back & return to me. Robb.Col Thos P Memphis Nov 22d 1864 While at Lookout Mountain to inspect Hospitals The sick and wounded Ill's soldiers in hospital gave him a cane of Laural Wood - cut from the summit of the moun- tain. The present is not of intrinsic value but is presented through mere motives of friendship in consideration of your noble service and aid to the soldiers, If you reply, send it to him at Memphis.

In my late tour of inspection in the Department of the Cumberland, I visited Lookout Mountain Hospital, at Chattanooga Tennessee. Aside from the ordinary interest excited by visiting a locality now become famous, the occasion was one long to be remembered by me, by reason of an incident, which will form the material [post?] of this communication. The Illinois Soldiers, diseased and wounded, inmates of the hospital I have named, wished to testify in our humble way, their appreciation of the self- sacrificing intrest manifested in their behalf upon all occasions by your Excellency. To that end, they commisioned me in their behalf, to present to you the cane accompanying this this letter, trusting that you might accept it, not for its intrinsic value merely, for that is small, but as <hr /> an [illegible] of their gratitude and lasting esteem. It is of laurel wood, commonly called by the natives iron wood, by reason of its hardness, and was cut by the eldest of their number, from over the summit of the Mountain. Will your Excellency please accept it, as the gift of honest, brave and patriotic hearts. The Soldiers is no Diplomatist. He is all unused to flattery - He speaks right out the sentiments of his heart, whither it be in hearty condemnation of treason, covert or avowed, or in grateful acknowledgements of kindnesses received. Rest assured then, that this expression, whatever be its worth, has at least the merit of being an honest one. With this cane, this Soldiers also wished me to return to your Excellency their thanks for all done by you in their behalf, and to extend their hope and prayer, that after you shall have vacated your office, as soon you will be called upon to do health and prosperity may attend you wherever, or in whatever position, public or private you may be, and especially that nothing may ever arise to cause you to regret your efforts and labors in behalf of the volunteers of Illinois, in the Great Army of the Union. With sentiments of personal esteem, in behalf of these sick and wounded soldiers, I am Governor-very Respectfully Your Obedient Thos. P. Robb Col & Agent <hr /> Governor. This communication was first suggested by Genl Oglesby- since by many friends - an answer from you will not only be gratifying to the latter, but to our Soldiers in the field and in hospital. Please direct to me here. I am waiting very impatiently for my new [orders?] instructions. as my time is limited - on receipt, will you please telegraph brief instruction to visit - N.O. & inspect Hospitals [illegible] - it will answer just as well - Respectfully T.P. Robb Col & Agt P.S. I have written Genl Oglesby this date - T.P.R <hr /> Prepare answers dating back & return to me. Robb.Col Thos P Memphis Nov 22d 1864 While at Lookout Mountain to inspect Hospitals The sick and wounded Ill's soldiers in hospital gave him a cane of Laural Wood - cut from the summit of the moun- tain. The present is not of intrinsic value but is presented through mere motives of friendship in consideration of your noble service and aid to the soldiers, If you reply, send it to him at Memphis.
