Washington DC.
Sir: I would respectfully request the discharge of John Purkapile Co F. 51st Regt Ills Vols. He is the son of Mr James Purkapile of Menard Co Ills. near Petersburg - The old gentleman since his son enlisted has become disabled by an accident from maintaining himself & family and it seems almost absolutely necessary that his son be discharged You are doubtless well acquainted with the old gentleman upon which account I write you - The balance of his children are too young to assist him John P. has been in service two years. Please write me about this or have order issued & copy sent me & oblige Respectfully Yours
Rich. Yates
Governor
