Honeable Richard Yates
of the State of Ills.
We would ask of you, as the Govner of Ills. the privlage to write a few lines in regard to our cases who are here as prisners of War on Parol not to serve against the Southern rebels until legally exchanged or discharged of which we will bee duly informed. we were taken Prisners at the Battle of Shilo and have not heared from home since that time. therefore we are anxious to get somewhere where we can hear from home and get some money and have a change of clothing. for we are here without money and clothing and are detaned here for some reason I know not what. we were released on Parol at Macon G.A. and are thus far om our way home and canot get any farther. therefore we as Ills men would ask of you the Govner of the State of Ills to do something for us if it is in your powr for we are no use to the Government at present in this condition. our families know not whether we are alive or not and of course are uneasy about us.
I will give you a list of some of the scattering Regts of Ills. of which I am in charge of at present and am acting
