Chicago May 8, 1861 Gov Yates Dear Sir Enclosed I hand you the application of a small corps of six female nurses, who desire to be called on to do Hospital duty & to attend to sick or wounded soldiers, wherever they may be needed. They are all very fine women & of excellent character & able and efficient. They are all members of different churches here in good standing & have certificates from their respective pastors & from physicians and others fully endorsing them & their competency & usefulness for the labors they propose to undertake. They will give no troble but provid efficiently to the performance of their duty <hr /> if called upon as I hope they may be promptly - I believe if this system of good female nurses may once properly inaugurated it would never be abandoned - I know no six women so likely to inaugurate it with credit as the 6 whose applications I enclose.

Mrs. Yates the matron of this party is desirous to know whether her services are likely to be needed here as soon as may be.
