Mr. Yates, Governor of Illinois, I seat myself to direct a few lines to you, which I hope will meet with favorable success, and will be received with kindness. I am well aware of your hearing all the particulars of the late great battles of Muffressboro , in which most particular the sons of Illinois done honor to their noble state, of which they are proud of. But I do not think, that anyone can imagine the trial and hardships we also had to go through after meeting with the fate of a true soldier, in being wounded and then taken prisoner by those heartless traitors of so glorious a nation of ours. But for the sake of all that is dear to us, we endured fatigue, imprisonment, cold and hunger, until we landed safe on the shore of Maryland, to call us once more; Uncle Sams boys. We are here now, applying to you and entreating your kind sympathies <hr /> and calling on you for aid, to use your influence at the War Department to call the Sons of Illinois to their own State, to let them remain there, untill they are exchanged; when they will ever be ready, once more to rally around that standard, to strike the death blow to this cursed rebellion. I am nothing but a private, who served for nineteen months, from day to day fulfilled his duties, untill I was wounded at the late battle, from which I am not quite well yet. Allthough never before wishing to leave my regiment on a furlough, I now plead to You to send if possible, a free pass for me and a companion of mine, to Springfield. I should be very thankfull, if my wish could be granted; for I cannot at any rate serve my country at present, untill exchanged; when <hr /> I will then gladly and joyfully grasp my arms with the warcry: Union, Liberty or Death! I do sincerely hope you will have it in your power to grant my wish; if not, I wish at anyrate to soon hear your opinion about the matter, if only in a few lines; and I remain your humble and obedient servant Fred.

To the Hon. Richard Yates Governor of Ills. Sir Having served nearly a year in the 12th Regt. Missouri Volunteers, since I left Ills and had the pleasure of waiting on you at Springfield Ills., I take this opportunity of asking a favor of you, which I then foolishly declined; namely, I should like to be promoted to the Ills service, where I served as 1st Lieut in the 9th Reg in the three months service. Nearly a year ago, when at Springfield Ills, I thought the danger in Missouri was eminent, and I was determined to meet the enemy on the first occasion regardless of position. I have since, with deep regret, found out, that it is a very embarrasing position for an officer in the Missouri service, who was born and raised in Ills. and who is justly pround of what Ills has done in this war, not only in battle, but also through the energy of its executive department, so much in contrast with Missouri. Outside of this, I always would be prefer, serving as a volunteer in my own native State, where a just executive eye sees and watches vigilantly, that justice is done to every soldier. During these eleven months I have served <hr /> in a Regt which has gained a reputation for its bravery in battle and its patient endurance of hunger and hardships and I may say that the two companies A and B from Belleville Ills. everywhere sustained their reputation for bravery and endurance surpassed by none in the Regt. As Riflemen and skirmishers this Regt. has a high reputation in the whole southwest army. I should prefer such a Regt. because I have, during a march of 1100 miles through an enemy's country, become theoretically and practically acquainted with this branch of the service on different occasions. Any promotion to the Ills. service whether Infantry or cavalry would be preferable to my remaining here and would be hailed with pride. I would, however most respectfully request you, should you be kind enough to think of my promotion, not to put aside or overlook any officer more deserving or meritorious or preferred by the respective Regt. Hoping that this meet you well and that I do not trespass to much upon your time and patience I remain your most obedient Fred L Ledergerber Capt. 12th Mo Vol Comdg Comp.
