Hon E. N. Powell [illegible]
Peoria Ills
Sir:
Your petition concerning the appointment of H. S. Austin as Provost Marshall of your city, is received.
The Governor is absent form home, but I am advised to say that these officers are appointed under Order No. 140 War Dept that the Secretary of War has decided that in those states not subject to draft but one special Provost Marshall is appointed, and that a gentleman has been some time since recommended for this state.
Respectfully yours,
John Moses Secretary
