Augusta May 3rd 1861
Governor Yates
Dear Sir
I take the liberty to address you in order to offer myself as a Nurse to the Noble men of this State, who have left their homes to defend the "Flag" of our Country. I can only pray for them now, but I wish to do more.
Respectfully Yours
C. R. Austin.
Gov. Richard Yates
