Gov Yates

Sir

We have a solder John Eagleton Co (F) 60th Reg Ills Vols in Hospital who is insane, his insanity is not of the most violent character. And may possibly be cured. Supposed to be caused by "homesickness" What arrangements can be made by which he can be sent to the Asylum or home? Can you furnish transportation. Hoping to hear from you soon in relation to this matter

I remain

Your ob't servant

Dr Sloan M.D.
