&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Git to go home a few weeaks that we wood able for duty a [gradle?] sooner then to stay in the hospitals  I hav bin in the Hospitals [sant?] of this 4 months and I hav saw men dy and not a few; that if tha had bin sent home in time tha wood hav bin back in the feeald agane in a few weeaks
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor perhaps I hav all redey send more then will be eney profit to eny off us but I hope you will take som Notis of this matter
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you allways hav looked after the well fare of the Ills boys and we think you will Continyo to do so; thear is a goodeal off complaint from the boys that coms up from the south about this matter as tha thought
&lt;/p&gt;

Surgeon Wright of our said Regt did propose for us applications for furlough to return to our Homes in our own state-but that in consequence of an onward movement of our Army Corps. it became necessary that we should be sent to Hospl. and did not get the benefit of said Furlough but was instructed by our Regimental Surgeon and the Surgeon in charge of the Hospl. at Lebanon that we would be sent to our own State.  Under "certain arrangements" that had been provided by your Excellency. whereby sick and wounded soldiers should be sent to Hospitals nearest their Homes in their own States We were transferred from Lebanon to Louisville with the understanding that we would proceed to our own State. but instead of being forwarded were detained and placed in this Hospl which is three miles from the City.  We have no way of egress from here either by a pass or otherwise and are therefore cut off from communication with any one who might be able to inform us as to our just rights  The Hospl. [care?] here being poor and our health not improving have therefore adopted this method of calling the attention of your Excellency to this subject in order that we may know what to expect and to whom we are to refer for redress when injustice has been done in our cases There are many Invalid Soldiers from our State in this Hospl who have been lying here sick for months and who would rejoice with us to know that anything could be done for their relief!  An answer to this addressed to Ward 12 Genl Hospl No. Seven either of us will be duly appreciated and gratefully acknowledged.

Surgeon Wright of our said Regt did propose for us applications for furlough to return to our Homes in our own state-but that in consequence of an onward movement of our Army Corps. it became necessary that we should be sent to Hospl. and did not get the benefit of said Furlough but was instructed by our Regimental Surgeon and the Surgeon in charge of the Hospl. at Lebanon that we would be sent to our own State.  Under "certain arrangements" that had been provided by your Excellency. whereby sick and wounded soldiers should be sent to Hospitals nearest their Homes in their own States We were transferred from Lebanon to Louisville with the understanding that we would proceed to our own State. but instead of being forwarded were detained and placed in this Hospl which is three miles from the City.  We have no way of egress from here either by a pass or otherwise and are therefore cut off from communication with any one who might be able to inform us as to our just rights  The Hospl. [care?] here being poor and our health not improving have therefore adopted this method of calling the attention of your Excellency to this subject in order that we may know what to expect and to whom we are to refer for redress when injustice has been done in our cases There are many Invalid Soldiers from our State in this Hospl who have been lying here sick for months and who would rejoice with us to know that anything could be done for their relief!  An answer to this addressed to Ward 12 Genl Hospl No. Seven either of us will be duly appreciated and gratefully acknowledged.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aug 24th 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I enlisted in Co H commanded by Capt Orme in the 94th Regt Illinois Vol on the 11th of August 1862. I left Bloomington with said Regiment and was with it in service untill the Battle of Prairie Grove in Arkansas on the 7th of December last  At said Battle and while engaged in said Battle with my company I was wounded in the knee with a Minnie ball  I was thence taken to the Hospital at Springfield Mo where I was on the 27th of last
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;April on account of said wounds discharged from the Military Service of the United States.  Since said discharge and my return home I have been unable to do any thing to support myself and family. I have been during said time and still am compelled to go on crutches.  I have a wife and three small children, one of my children is very sick. I own no property except my household goods:  and before I enlisted I depended entirely upon my labor for the support of myself and family.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under the above state of facts I applied to you for aid and hereby with much feeling and gratitude acknowledge to have received
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;from you through the hands of our mutual friend K N Fell Esq twenty five dollars  Governor I entered the service from a sense of duty.  I have won my reward upon the field of danger and have only to lament that my condition is such that I will not again be able to respond in active service to my country's call
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Permit me to say that as the Executive of a great &amp;amp; noble state you have done your duty nobly and fearlessly. You have sustained the cause of your country and the soldiers. The soldiers recognize that your personal feeling and sympathies are with them and they have been cheered by your conduct  But when they learn that your support and sympathies is to follow them individually from the
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Battle field to their home then truly can they appreciate your noble love of Liberty and Country and announce to the world in more than an ordinary sense that in deed you are the soldiers friend  Permit me again to thank you for your kindness and May God bless you and save our Country
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Brown
&lt;/p&gt;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Bloomington Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aug 24th 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I enlisted in Co H commanded by Capt Orme in the 94th Regt Illinois Vol on the 11th of August 1862. I left Bloomington with said Regiment and was with it in service untill the Battle of Prairie Grove in Arkansas on the 7th of December last  At said Battle and while engaged in said Battle with my company I was wounded in the knee with a Minnie ball  I was thence taken to the Hospital at Springfield Mo where I was on the 27th of last
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;April on account of said wounds discharged from the Military Service of the United States.  Since said discharge and my return home I have been unable to do any thing to support myself and family. I have been during said time and still am compelled to go on crutches.  I have a wife and three small children, one of my children is very sick. I own no property except my household goods:  and before I enlisted I depended entirely upon my labor for the support of myself and family.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under the above state of facts I applied to you for aid and hereby with much feeling and gratitude acknowledge to have received
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;from you through the hands of our mutual friend K N Fell Esq twenty five dollars  Governor I entered the service from a sense of duty.  I have won my reward upon the field of danger and have only to lament that my condition is such that I will not again be able to respond in active service to my country's call
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Permit me to say that as the Executive of a great &amp;amp; noble state you have done your duty nobly and fearlessly. You have sustained the cause of your country and the soldiers. The soldiers recognize that your personal feeling and sympathies are with them and they have been cheered by your conduct  But when they learn that your support and sympathies is to follow them individually from the
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Battle field to their home then truly can they appreciate your noble love of Liberty and Country and announce to the world in more than an ordinary sense that in deed you are the soldiers friend  Permit me again to thank you for your kindness and May God bless you and save our Country
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Brown
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir, - We send you by to-day's mail, for your perusal, a copy of "Camp and Outpost Duty for Infantry," by Major General Butterfield.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This work has attracted much attention as a useful textbook for volunteers.  Many Generals in the field have not only spoken highly of it, but have had it purchased for their troops.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We enclose you extracts from the letters of Major Generals Hunter, Sherman, Dix, Heintzelman, and others, showing their opinions of its value as a textbook for the instruction of troops.  We would also refer you to the opinions expressed by Major Generals McClellan, Hooker, and others, in the preface of the work.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Should you deem it proper, in view of the services the militia are now called upon to perform, or for the better instruction and perfection in their duties of volunteers leaving your state, to place copies of this valuable work in their hands, we should be pleased to receive your orders.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have the honor to be,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obdt Servants,
