Joliet, Ills June 11th Hon A C Fuller Adj Gen Dear Sir - Having been at home some weeks from the loss of an arm at Shiloh, I have been frequently called upon, as I wrote before, by soldiers desirous of rejoining their regiments as to the means of getting back, and I have been so impressed with the necessity of some general rule, well understood, that I hope it will not be considered presumptuous in me to make some suggestions - Our army from sickness, discharges &c is sensibly decreasing, and not the least cause is the fact of soldiers finding how difficult it is to return, gradually neglect to make efforts to do so. It can hardly be expected that the generality of soldiers are so anxious to return that they will raise money, even if they are able to pay their way. It affords a good excuse to remain at home. In every county you will find a large number, who have put off their uniform and are working on farms &c - A great many, who have been absent two months or more, are expecting their discharges in accordance with an order sometime ago <hr /> published. Of course that applied only to soldiers who were not convalescent at the expiration of two months. But the soldiers did not so understand it, and if they did, it was very easy to get a certificate of some irresponsible or friendly physician, as to their disability. As a consequence of this, I feel sure that there are a great many, expecting their discharges, who have been reported by their company commanders as deserters. The order of Gen Halleck, directing the quartermaster to furnish transportation upon the certificate of a post surgeon, I am informed by soldiers who have been to Chicago for that purpose, works this way - The surgeon at Chicago gives a certificate to be presented to the master of transportation at St. Louis. But the trouble is to get to St. Louis. Of course there is no difficulty in getting transportation when once there. It seems to me that it would be better to have in each county, a surgeon and a superintendent (combined perhaps in one person) upon whom shall be the responsibility of examining soldiers and furnishing transportation. Being responsible and known he will give certificates when they are needed only. Being acquainted in the county he will be able to keep an eye on the absent soldier. It is a hardship upon the sol- <hr /> dier to compel him to go to Chicago. But it will be comparatively easy for the soldier to go to the county seat. In every county there can be found patriotic men, who will be willing for a trifling compensation to take charge of it. The number of men Illinois has in the field would justify it. and the rule would work still better, if it should remain unchangeable, so that no soldier could be mistaken about it. Our present army having been made before the regulations so to speak, one of the most difficult things is to advise soldiers with safety as to any given rule, for what is an order to-day, is revoked to-morrow, and no man unless he is in constant receipt of the orders, knows how to act or advise. One old soldier drilled is worth to the government two new recruits, and we ought to keep all the old ones in, if possible - Hoping this will be considered in the spirit with which it is intended - I remain Yours with respect F A Bartleson Maj 20th Ills Inf <hr /> Maj.

Jacksonville June 12, 1862 Hon Richard Yates Dear Governor, I have sent you today a copy of the last Journal to shew you what we are doing here against that gigantic Swindle by courtesy called the "New Constitution. There is no editor of the Journal now, as Mr Barden has no time and no experience to devote to that department. This week I took charge of the Journal myself and wrote all the editorials in it in all political subjects, including the Constitution - There is also an article of mine in reply to the slanders circulated by Democrats and the Sentinel <hr /> as well as Register and Times. Next week I will have the letter, which appeared in the Journal (Springfield) republished in the Jacksonville Journal. Since last Friday John Strong and myself have raised over $20 - and with it got printed and mostly circulated 5000 Handbills against the "New Constitution" - They have been supplied to almost every reading voter in this County, and I have sent thousands to Cass, Menard, and Scott Counties and John has sent some to Greane - I am speaking some, but as I am not very well (my thoat troubles me) I can not speak as much as I would desire - I spoke at Bethel last night, shall speak P.S. I send you one of our hand bills H. J. A. <hr /> at [illegible] tomorrow evening, & once or twice on Saturday at Naples on Monday evening - Many Democrats are against it - I think at least 100 in the County - Our men are almost unanimous against the Constitution - Woff (a lawyer of Concord) being the only one I know for it - Unless they get some of our Dutch & Portuguse (which I hope they will not) we shall cut down their majority, much I think - Can't it be arranged so that many, if not all, of John King's Co. at Camp Butler shall have a chance to vote here? I don't know how the Co. stands politically- Our Republicans are wide awake and hopeful of the result - I have got along finely in my office as State's Atty - The Democratic Paper at Carrolton complimented me highly, so did the one at Hardin, Calhoun Co, Yours &c H.
