Richard Yates to Edwin M. Stanton

Feb. 27, [186]3.

To Secretary of War,

Washington, D.C.

Sir:

I respectfully request a transfer for Surgeon C.L. Wirnat, of Sixty-Second Illinois Volunteers, from duty in the field to hospital service, on account of bad health. Surgeon is confident he could do full duty in a hospital, which he is at present unable to perform.

Most Respectfully,

Your obedient servant,

Rich'd Yates,

Governor.
