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.

The Editors of this detestable sheet, who have never pardoned you for daring to oppose their idol N. B. Judd, and who have heretofore most bitterly attacked you, at the same time asking favor of you, have commentend upon Heckers articles in a manner most outrageously unjust to you. You should know your enemies and treat them as such. I have replied to Hecker, who represents me as the cause of his regimental troubles, accusing me of intrigue &c. You, my dear Sir, are aware, how impartially I have endeorvored to settle this "prestiferous" affair,- I know, how good naturedly and patiently you have, in your unbounded generosity of heart, borne with Hecker and his difficulties.- In case Hecker answers to my reply I will see you at Springfield and gather facts for a "finisher." - Let me give you a verbal translation of the comments of the "Staatszeitung: "We believe that the general administration and particularly the administration at Springfield are responsible for all this. (Heckers regimental troubles)...(And what is the reason, that the Springfield administration should thus treat a man, who ....Sacrificed himself &ce......?) It is unbounded inability on one hand and unbounded meanness on the other. <hr /> "At the head of the State of Illinois are two men, one of whom as Governor has brought little honor, the other as Lt Gov. much dishonor upon the State.
