Since that time we have heard from him directly but once. and his friends in this vicinity are very anxious on this account. What I wish to know is if that regiment was only organized for three months, and if so, was it reorganized at the expiration of that time, under the same colonel. I would like, also, to ascertain the killed sick and wounded of that regiment. We of Wisconsin can learn the particulars with regard to our own state's regiments, but find it difficult to ascertain the whereabouts of others. We have searched the papers, and have traced the 16th as far as the battle of Lexington, and have seen nothing farther about it. You see what we need.

But he desired me to ask you to forward <hr /> through me a statement, Showing the wants of our troops, & how long since their organization, they had been destitute of arms, & he promised on its receipt to forward arms, & that Illinois should have her full share. They are arriving now, & I understand of excellent quality from [ahaad?]. Hoping to hear from you at an early day I am Very Truly Yours Isaac N. Arnold <hr /> Hon. I. N.
