Richard Yates to John G. Fonda

Sept. 3d [186]2.

Maj J. G. Fonda

Comt. Camp Butler,

Sir;

I am just advised by Governor Morton, that Benjamin F. Miller who is under arrest at your camp on a charge of attempting to leave the state to avoid a draft, is a citizen of Indiana, where [h]is name is enrolled. You will therefore cause him to be released at once, giving him a certificate of the facts in his case to enable him to return to his home.

Respectfully

Richd. Yates.
