                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Knox College, GALESBURG, ILL.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nov. 10 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency Gov. Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the opening of the September term, under the promise that the State would supply the necessary Arms, Knox College employed
Major Standaw, to give Military instruction in the College.--   And the College would gladly acknowledge its obligation to Gov Yates for his recommendation of the Major.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have a fine company 
of young men under drill -- the
College making it the rule, that
all the students shall engage in it.
They have progressed as far as 
they can advantageously without
the arms.  Sometime since we 
sent an agent to Springfield
for them, and he returned with the
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;assurance they would speedily follow.
They have not come, - in every 
probability from a press of business.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We understand there are both 
Austrian and English arms 
not in use, which would answer
our wants.  We do not want very long guns and 
and should like them with bayonets
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We feel a confidence the Gov. will supply our wants
if circumstances will permit those wants to receive his attention.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We will gladly send an agent to Springfield Cairo or other point if needful to get them. 100 Stands would supply our present need, but it would be better to let us have 200 if they can be spared, as our wants will increase, and we will take good care of them, and
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;have them forthcoming as needed.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will you be kind enough to let us hear from you as to whether they can be had and the steps necessary for us to take to get them. ---
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;O.S. Pitcher
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Treas. Knox College
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ansd Nov 13 62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;O. S Pitcher
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Treasurer
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Knox College
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Galesburg  Nov 10/62.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Was promised arms for his institution but has not yet received any.  have a fine company of young men, hopes he will receive good arms, not a long gun.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency Gov. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ills.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I respectfully but earnestly ask your attention to the case of my son Monroe A. Comman, a Corporal in the 9th Reg. Ills. Vol, Co. I, who after fighting all day in the battle of Fort Donellson on February 15, was taken prisoner while attending to his wounded comrades, and taking down south, where he has suffered great hardships, and is now quite weak from a severe and protracted attack of billious fever, he was paroled and reached Washington on the 21st of October, and has been sent to Camp Banks parolled prisoners near Alexandria Va, Mitchel's Corps.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What I ask in the matter is whether you would have the kindness to have him furloughed until his health is established, I very much fear he will sink
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;under the exposure incident to his present position.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I tell you that his Brother was killed bravely fighting for his country at the Battle of Antietam you will understand the anxiety we feel about him, and will excuse my importunity. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I address you because I do not know how else to accomplish this object. If you cannot assist me in this matter, perhaps you can inform  me where to apply.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I ask your &lt;u&gt;prompt&lt;/u&gt; attention to this request, as I fear his life is in danger from his present exposed position.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I remain yours very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;L. R. Comman
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Says his son Monroe A. Comman of the 9th regiment Ill. Vol. was taken prisoner at Donelson and is now at Camp Banks Washington a paroled prisoner. He is sick and will not live unless allowed a furlough to come home and be taken care of by his friends. Lost another son at "Antietam." Asks Gov's assistance to obtain a furlough or if that is not possible to be informed how he can obtain the same.

Camp Douglas Nov 11 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency
Governor Yates
Washington D.C.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I received your
kind note inviting me to join you in
New York or Washington, and regretted
that I did not see you, but you know
I was particularly occupied in getting off
the last Regiments.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been exerting myself
untill now to get affairs here so arranged
as to enable me to leave there, but find
that I am now probably too late to meet
you, and will have to defer my visit untill
you have occasion to go to Washington
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;again.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I still think the Government will
require more troops, and why recruiting
and organizing is not continued I
cannot understand.-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been called
upon through Captain Potter ass't Q Master
at Chicago, for information in regard to
the history of Camp Douglas, for what
purpose I do not know; But it occurred
to me that you might be enquired of in
the matter at Washington, and I therefore
Enclose to you a copy of a hasty sketch I have
drawn up for him.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Governor
Very Respectfully
Your Ob't Servant
Joseph M Tucker
Col. Commding
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.S
If your determination is not to allow your
name to be urged for appointment a major
General of Vols, I certainly think you
ought to have some General Officer in
the US Service assigned to duty with you 
in the state, who would always act
harmoniously with the state authorities,
and he might also discharge the duties
of Provost Marshal General of the state.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

papers respecting
Capt. Potter.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency
Governor Yates
Washington D.C.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I received your
kind note inviting me to join you in
New York or Washington, and regretted
that I did not see you, but you know
I was particularly occupied in getting off
the last Regiments.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been exerting myself
untill now to get affairs here so arranged
as to enable me to leave there, but find
that I am now probably too late to meet
you, and will have to defer my visit untill
you have occasion to go to Washington
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;again.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I still think the Government will
require more troops, and why recruiting
and organizing is not continued I
cannot understand.-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been called
upon through Captain Potter ass't Q Master
at Chicago, for information in regard to
the history of Camp Douglas, for what
purpose I do not know; But it occurred
to me that you might be enquired of in
the matter at Washington, and I therefore
Enclose to you a copy of a hasty sketch I have
drawn up for him.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Governor
Very Respectfully
Your Ob't Servant
Joseph M Tucker
Col. Commding
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.S
If your determination is not to allow your
name to be urged for appointment a major
General of Vols, I certainly think you
ought to have some General Officer in
the US Service assigned to duty with you 
in the state, who would always act
harmoniously with the state authorities,
and he might also discharge the duties
of Provost Marshal General of the state.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Copy)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Head Quarters Illinois Troops
Camp Douglas Nov 12 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the latter part of the summer of
1861 His Excellency Governor Yates appointed me to the
command of the Northern District of the state of Illinois,
with instructions to establish a Camp of instruction and ren-
devous for Volunteers at Chicago and to construct barracks
for their accomodation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under this order I immediately located "Camp Douglas"
and commenced the construction of barracks. I continued
in command of the Camp until the last of the troops were
ordered to the field in February 1862, and during which time
the present barracks were all constructed under my direction.
Whilst the barracks were being constructed, the U. S. Mustering
and Disbursing Officer at Chicago, Captain John Christopher
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;agreed to assume the payment of the Contracts for construc-
tion and did pay them. I think,  however, there may be
a few thousands of dollars of bills in connection with the con-
struction which were paid by the State and have not been
paid by Captain Christopher.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Camp covers an area of from 60 to 70 acres
of ground as exhibited upon maps of survey forwarded
to the Adjutant General of the Army, to the Surgeon General
and to Col. W. Hoffman Comm'g Gen'l of Prisons. Upon
these maps occurs a proposed line of sewerage, which, beginning
in the North East corner of the grounds, where the Hydrants
are placed, passes through the Camp finding outlet into
Lake Michigan. This, with the existing surface drainage
would keep the grounds dry at all times, and the constant
flow of fresh water from the Hydrants through the sewer,
would, carrying away all offal, banish miasma. Knowing
the influence sewerage would have upon the sanitary
condition of the Camp I urgently urged its adoption.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Estimate for the improvements which was about
$7000. was also forwarded to Colonel Hoffman.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the month of February 1862 and im-
mediately after the battle of Fort Donelson I received
an order from Maj. General Halleck Commanding the
department of the Mississippi, also an order from Colonel
Scott Ass't Sec'y of War who was then in St. Louis, 
through the Adjutant General of the state of Illinois
to prepare the Camp for the reception of Prisoners of
War which was immediately done. Soon after between
8 &amp;amp; 9 thousand Prisoners were received into the Camp
and placed in barracks. I remained in command at this
time about a fortnight and was then ordered to turn
over the command to Col. Mulligan 23rd Regt Ill Vols.
(who had been ordered to re-organize his Regiment)
and report at Springfield.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the early part of June 1862 several
three months Regiments were called for from
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;this state, two of which were for garrison duty
at this Camp in charge of Prisoners of War and I
was placed in command of the 69th Reg't Ill. Vols. (one
of the two Reg't's referred to), and directed to assume
command of the Camp, in which position I continued
until relieved by Brig. Gen'l. Tyler on the 30th day
of September last on the arrival of the paroled
troops from Harper's Ferry.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The barracks as constructed by me were intended
to accomodate about 8 thousand troops, with mess halls
and quarters complete for Field and Staff and Company
Officers, also stables for about 2 thousand horses, and,
including hospitals, quarter masters' &amp;amp; commissaries'
stores &amp;amp;c. During their occupancy by the Prisoners
of War, however, some of the stables were converted
into hospitals and temporary barracks for Prisoners
and considerable additions made to the fencing
about Camp.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With Joseph Tucker 11/11/62  [Nov.12, 1862]
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(5
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the time of the last call for
600 thousand Volunteers by the President and before
the Prisoners of War had been sent off for exchange,
quarters were much needed here for Illinois Volunteers
and Governor Yates directed the Mustering Officer at this
place to construct barracks for their accomodation. I
had, however, about that time received an intimation from
Colonel Hoffman, Comm'g Gen'l of Prisons, that the
prisoners would probably be shortly exchanged,
and so telegraphed the Governor - who countermanded
the order for construction of new barracks and in the
mean time I quartered the Volunteers outside of Camp
in tents and temporary barracks.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Immediately after the prisoners were sent off
for exchange, I received an order to have the Barracks
renovated and put in order for Illinois Volunteers,
which was being done and rapidly approaching completion
when the paroled troops from Harper's Ferry arrived.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the arrival of the first detachment of
the paroled troops, which was without notice to me,
and before I was aware that Brig. Gen'l Tyler was in
command of them, or that he was coming to Camp
Douglas, I telegraphed to the Secretary of War to the
effect - that there were not barracks sufficient to quarter
them together with the troops I already had in the Camp,
to which I received the following reply, viz.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington Sepr 29th 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jos. H. Tucker
Col. Comdg
Camp Douglas.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will make requisition on the
Quarter Master at Chicago for what supplies may be
needed for the paroled troops, just arrived, if he cannot
furnish tents you will erect sheds and temporary barracks
and report to Genl. Halleck.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E. M. Stanton
Sec'y War
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upon receipt of this dispatch I secured the Fair
grounds just west of the Camp, for use as temporary
quarters for a part of the paroled troops a day or two
after which Brig. General Tyler arrived and assumed
general Command.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among the troops recruited and organized in and
around Camp Douglas amounting to nearly 30 thou-
sand, are the following, viz -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;9th Cavalry 1035

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Head Quarters Illinois Troops
Camp Douglas Nov 12 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the latter part of the summer of
1861 His Excellency Governor Yates appointed me to the
command of the Northern District of the state of Illinois,
with instructions to establish a Camp of instruction and ren-
devous for Volunteers at Chicago and to construct barracks
for their accomodation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under this order I immediately located "Camp Douglas"
and commenced the construction of barracks. I continued
in command of the Camp until the last of the troops were
ordered to the field in February 1862, and during which time
the present barracks were all constructed under my direction.
Whilst the barracks were being constructed, the U. S. Mustering
and Disbursing Officer at Chicago, Captain John Christopher
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;agreed to assume the payment of the Contracts for construc-
tion and did pay them. I think,  however, there may be
a few thousands of dollars of bills in connection with the con-
struction which were paid by the State and have not been
paid by Captain Christopher.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Camp covers an area of from 60 to 70 acres
of ground as exhibited upon maps of survey forwarded
to the Adjutant General of the Army, to the Surgeon General
and to Col. W. Hoffman Comm'g Gen'l of Prisons. Upon
these maps occurs a proposed line of sewerage, which, beginning
in the North East corner of the grounds, where the Hydrants
are placed, passes through the Camp finding outlet into
Lake Michigan. This, with the existing surface drainage
would keep the grounds dry at all times, and the constant
flow of fresh water from the Hydrants through the sewer,
would, carrying away all offal, banish miasma. Knowing
the influence sewerage would have upon the sanitary
condition of the Camp I urgently urged its adoption.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Estimate for the improvements which was about
$7000. was also forwarded to Colonel Hoffman.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the month of February 1862 and im-
mediately after the battle of Fort Donelson I received
an order from Maj. General Halleck Commanding the
department of the Mississippi, also an order from Colonel
Scott Ass't Sec'y of War who was then in St. Louis, 
through the Adjutant General of the state of Illinois
to prepare the Camp for the reception of Prisoners of
War which was immediately done. Soon after between
8 &amp;amp; 9 thousand Prisoners were received into the Camp
and placed in barracks. I remained in command at this
time about a fortnight and was then ordered to turn
over the command to Col. Mulligan 23rd Regt Ill Vols.
(who had been ordered to re-organize his Regiment)
and report at Springfield.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the early part of June 1862 several
three months Regiments were called for from
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;this state, two of which were for garrison duty
at this Camp in charge of Prisoners of War and I
was placed in command of the 69th Reg't Ill. Vols. (one
of the two Reg't's referred to), and directed to assume
command of the Camp, in which position I continued
until relieved by Brig. Gen'l. Tyler on the 30th day
of September last on the arrival of the paroled
troops from Harper's Ferry.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The barracks as constructed by me were intended
to accomodate about 8 thousand troops, with mess halls
and quarters complete for Field and Staff and Company
Officers, also stables for about 2 thousand horses, and,
including hospitals, quarter masters' &amp;amp; commissaries'
stores &amp;amp;c. During their occupancy by the Prisoners
of War, however, some of the stables were converted
into hospitals and temporary barracks for Prisoners
and considerable additions made to the fencing
about Camp.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With Joseph Tucker 11/11/62  [Nov.12, 1862]
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(5
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the time of the last call for
600 thousand Volunteers by the President and before
the Prisoners of War had been sent off for exchange,
quarters were much needed here for Illinois Volunteers
and Governor Yates directed the Mustering Officer at this
place to construct barracks for their accomodation. I
had, however, about that time received an intimation from
Colonel Hoffman, Comm'g Gen'l of Prisons, that the
prisoners would probably be shortly exchanged,
and so telegraphed the Governor - who countermanded
the order for construction of new barracks and in the
mean time I quartered the Volunteers outside of Camp
in tents and temporary barracks.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Immediately after the prisoners were sent off
for exchange, I received an order to have the Barracks
renovated and put in order for Illinois Volunteers,
which was being done and rapidly approaching completion
when the paroled troops from Harper's Ferry arrived.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the arrival of the first detachment of
the paroled troops, which was without notice to me,
and before I was aware that Brig. Gen'l Tyler was in
command of them, or that he was coming to Camp
Douglas, I telegraphed to the Secretary of War to the
effect - that there were not barracks sufficient to quarter
them together with the troops I already had in the Camp,
to which I received the following reply, viz.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington Sepr 29th 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jos. H. Tucker
Col. Comdg
Camp Douglas.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will make requisition on the
Quarter Master at Chicago for what supplies may be
needed for the paroled troops, just arrived, if he cannot
furnish tents you will erect sheds and temporary barracks
and report to Genl. Halleck.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E. M. Stanton
Sec'y War
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upon receipt of this dispatch I secured the Fair
grounds just west of the Camp, for use as temporary
quarters for a part of the paroled troops a day or two
after which Brig. General Tyler arrived and assumed
general Command.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among the troops recruited and organized in and
around Camp Douglas amounting to nearly 30 thou-
sand, are the following, viz -
