He is now and has been for some time past prostrated by sickness. He is my nephew, and I feel a deep interest in his welfare for his sister's sake. She is a widow in feeble health, very weak eyes, and yet is entirely dependant on her needle for the support of herself and little daughter. Charles Thomas is a member of Company D. 52 - Ill. Col. John Logan, now near Memphis. Charles has never intimated a desire to be discharged, but it is believed that justice and mercy call loudly for his discharge. He was beginning to contribute material aid for <hr /> the support of his sister and her daughter when he enlisted, though but sixteen years old Unfortunately at the time, he had a very unpleasant home, and was persuaded to enlist by his older companions, contrary to the known wishes of his sister and friends If he cannot be discharged please let him have a furlow to return to his friends and be cared for until his health is restored.

During the Civil War the school relocated to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In 1859 Chicago entrepreneur and Presbyterian layman Cyrus H. McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, became the seminary's major financial patrons. The relationship between the McCormick family and the school remained well into the twentieth century. Shortly after McCormick’s death in 1884, the school was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Several campus buildings are named for McCormick family members including McCormick Hall, Fowler Hall, and Virginia Library. After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968, seminary faculty and students were active in the civil rights movement and provided assistance to displaced and injured participants. The seminary relocated to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood in 1975. The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings. Still Image A static visual representation.
