Sir:
I am informed that under recent instructions from Washington all sick and wounded soldiers are to be removed to hospitals nearest their respective homes. I would therefore respectfully request you to have all Illinois soldiers confined in hospitals at Louisville Ky. Jeffersonville and New Albany Ind transferred as soon as feasible to this State. Please inform me by return of mail what will be necessary for me to do in this matter if anything.
Respectfully Yours,
Richd Yates Governor
