&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some time since I wrote to you in regard to the transfer of one Andrew Golden, corporal in Co E 89th Regt Ill Vol. from the Hospital at Nashville to the Hospital in Chicago.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your reply of the 30th of August said that you had "written to the U. S. Medical Director at Nashville Tenn requesting that an order issue directing Andrew Golden to report to U. S. Hospital Chicago Ill"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Soldier reported at Chicago but would not be received because he had no transfer, As soon as he can get that he will be allowed to report at the above place.  I wish you would have the kindness to reply as soon as possible stating what action if any has been taken in the matter.  If there is any thing further that can be done to effect this transfer I hope you will aid me.  The Soldier is unable to travel such a long distance, He is home and friends are here &amp;amp; it would be much better for him &amp;amp; better for the Governance if he could be allowed to remain near here until he recovers.  I have been expecting to hear from you again from day to day.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several days since in speaking of my future desires to several of my friends here - I mentioned that it was my intention to spend the winter at Mobile in case of its capture &amp;amp; occupation by our forces.  It was at once suggested to me that I could get the appointment of "Supervising Special Agent" at that place if I would make the effort.  I am this morning informed that there are others applying for it.  If you are not committed in favor of some one - and should deem me worthy of the trust I should be glad to have your aid in the matter.  If however there be the smallest object in he way of your aid - I hope you will candidly inform me.  I trust to see if you soon
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Verry truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I N Haynie
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cairo Sept. 21/64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wants appt of supervisory special agent at Mobile
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Write strong rec - &amp;amp; enclose to him - immediately - make strong

&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Several days since in speaking of my future desires to several of my friends here - I mentioned that it was my intention to spend the winter at Mobile in case of its capture &amp;amp; occupation by our forces. It was at once suggested to me that I could get the appointment of "Supervising Special Agent" at that place if I would make the effort. I am this morning informed that there are others applying for it. If you are not committed in favor of some one - and should deem me worthy of the trust I should be glad to have your aid in the matter. If however there be the smallest object in he way of your aid - I hope you will candidly inform me. I trust to see if you soon&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Verry truly&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of your letter to the President in my behalf.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would be ungrateful in me not to express my thanks for the kind notice you have taken of me.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While it may be proper for all soldiers too seek advancement.  I trust that I have not been over anxious about it, or urged myself upon your notice improperly.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should the appointment you ask for me be made.  I shall feel grateful, should it not be made, I shall still be satisfied, and not be ashamed to serve the Country in any honorable capacity that will contribute to the suppression of the Rebellion
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I entered the Army soon after the War began, and I hope it may be my good fortune to serve until it ends.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:  On behalf of Private John Henry Finlay Company L. 2 Illinois Volunteer Cavalry now in 15 ward U. States General Hospital Baton Rouge Louisiana I wish you to request his immediate transfer to General Hospital Quincy Illinois.  Dr. [Brinton?] Surgeon in Charge here says it will be done at your request.  Private Finlay's father lives in Hancock Co.  His Uncle M. F. Finlay of this place is very anxious he should be sent here.  He was wounded in the arm in Baton Rouge last spring has been a long time in Hospital.  We may save his life by the transfer.  Your early attention will greatly oblige me &amp;amp; our good friend M. B. Finlay  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His general health is good but his arm will unfit him for duty perhaps forever
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jackson Grimshaw
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:  On behalf of Private John Henry Finlay Company L. 2 Illinois Volunteer Cavalry now in 15 ward U. States General Hospital Baton Rouge Louisiana I wish you to request his immediate transfer to General Hospital Quincy Illinois.  Dr. [Brinton?] Surgeon in Charge here says it will be done at your request.  Private Finlay's father lives in Hancock Co.  His Uncle M. F. Finlay of this place is very anxious he should be sent here.  He was wounded in the arm in Baton Rouge last spring has been a long time in Hospital.  We may save his life by the transfer.  Your early attention will greatly oblige me &amp;amp; our good friend M. B. Finlay  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His general health is good but his arm will unfit him for duty perhaps forever
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jackson Grimshaw
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Requests transfer for Private John H. Finlay of Co. "L" 2nd Illinois Cavly. who is in 15th Ward. U S. Genl Hospital Baton Rouge La.  Wants him sent to Quincy where his Uncle lives.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Gov,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The freinds of C. J. Lagergren  Co B. 72d Ills We complain that he is held at Camp Butler, not permited to go to his Regt at Vicksburg, and acordingly his pay withheld.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He enlisted last Feb &amp;amp; left a Famely dependant entirely upon his $13.00 pr Month for subsistance.  He is a Sweed &amp;amp; could not talk much when he left.  Was quite sick when his Co was sent down to Dixe - but soon recovered. The last heard he was very despondent &amp;amp; said he could not live long without some knowledge of his future condition. The Famely are suffering &amp;amp; dependant on Freinds, &amp;amp; City help. please have proper
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;inquiry instituted in his case &amp;amp; if possible send the famely part of this small pittance so long retained.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe he was recruited by Lieut Jos W. Jamison certainly something is wrong, &amp;amp; should be attended to. Either the Govt is being Swindled out of the use of Soldier, or this man Lagergren and family are made to suffer very unnecessarily.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steam is getting up to running point in politics, look out for those doubtful districts, &amp;amp; don't fail to get some Soldiers home in them.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your freind
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geo I Bergen 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bergan Geo I.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Galesbury Sept 26th 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Says that a soldier by the name of C. J. Tagegren is held at Camp Butler &amp;amp; not permitted to go to his regt. at Vicksburg - and consequently his pay is withheld. His family is suffering and he requests the Gov to see about it.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon. Gov.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a question that I would very much like to have decided as I am the one conserned The circumstances are these. I am a citizen of this State and have been for eleven years.  on the 2nd of last month I hired as carpenter in the Quartermasters Dep't. at St. Louis for six months unless sooner discharged I was sent with others to little Rock Ark. and on account of Ill. health was discharged on the 10th 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of the present month after recieving my discharge it was neccesary to obtain a pass to return home and to obtain a pass I was obliged to be enrolled in the malitia of that State (Ark) then I had to obtain a furlow and the best I could do was a furlo for 30 days from the 10th of Aug. 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now the question is am I obliged to return and go into the Malitia of that or any other State except old Illinois.  I am not the only one in the same fix from Ill. and we would like very much to have the discision of our Gov. and know what to do 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We cannot see why we are beholden to that State for anything
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to be your obt servant,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John H. Agnew
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Agnew John H.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlville Sept. 26th 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He hired as a carpenter on 2nd of Aug. and was sent to Little Rock, and was discharged on 10th inst. on account of ill-health, and when he applied for a pass to come home he had to enroll himself in the Militia of that state and then only could get a furlough for 30 days.  He wants to know if he must go back there to serve in their Militia.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon. Gov.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a question that I would very much like to have decided as I am the one conserned The circumstances are these. I am a citizen of this State and have been for eleven years.  on the 2nd of last month I hired as carpenter in the Quartermasters Dep't. at St. Louis for six months unless sooner discharged I was sent with others to little Rock Ark. and on account of Ill. health was discharged on the 10th 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of the present month after recieving my discharge it was neccesary to obtain a pass to return home and to obtain a pass I was obliged to be enrolled in the malitia of that State (Ark) then I had to obtain a furlow and the best I could do was a furlo for 30 days from the 10th of Aug. 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now the question is am I obliged to return and go into the Malitia of that or any other State except old Illinois.  I am not the only one in the same fix from Ill. and we would like very much to have the discision of our Gov. and know what to do 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We cannot see why we are beholden to that State for anything
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to be your obt servant,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John H. Agnew
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Agnew John H.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlville Sept. 26th 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He hired as a carpenter on 2nd of Aug. and was sent to Little Rock, and was discharged on 10th inst. on account of ill-health, and when he applied for a pass to come home he had to enroll himself in the Militia of that state and then only could get a furlough for 30 days.  He wants to know if he must go back there to serve in their Militia.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;George Smith who served his time in the Penitentiary and was discharged between two and three years since wishes me to ask of you if it is possible for him to be restored to his citizenship. He says the warden at Joliett will certify to his good conduct. Since his return here he has been a good, and law abiding citizen. He wants to vote this fall if he can do so honorably. He is a good union man.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If he can be so fortunate as to receive the Governors executive clemency have the kindness to inform him what steps are necessary.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Address Rivoli Mercer Co Ill

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;George Smith who served his time in the Penitentiary and was discharged between two and three years since wishes me to ask of you if it is possible for him to be restored to his citizenship. He says the warden at Joliett will certify to his good conduct. Since his return here he has been a good, and law abiding citizen. He wants to vote this fall if he can do so honorably. He is a good union man.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If he can be so fortunate as to receive the Governors executive clemency have the kindness to inform him what steps are necessary.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Address Rivoli Mercer Co Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours very Respectfully

Sept. 26th/64.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov R. Yates:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tho' not personally acquainted with you, I had the honor of voting to elevate you to the position you now occupy. You were, I presume, acquainted with L. Jay S. Turney, (my brother) recently Sec. of Washington Terr: &amp;amp; probably with my Father - Dr. Daniel Turney who has several times represented Wayne Co. in the State Legislature and also with my Bro. Dr. J. J. R. Turney recently a delegate to the "Chicago Convention" &amp;amp; "Springfield Convention". Now, my bro L. Jay S. is "all night on the goose", but I lament to confess, Daddy &amp;amp; the Dr. are on the Cop side!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, I am ready to serve my Country in any capacity, but like many others would like a position! If my Governor
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;has any honorable place to appoint me to, I am at his services. I preach sometimes, (and I preach the Anti-Slavery Methodism) and could act as Chaplain, if there should be an opening. I am a tolerable Clerk, &amp;amp; could accept a position as such.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, I have no claims, farther than any other Loyal man Governor, but will say that, I should be pleased to be employed in some position.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obt. Servt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fayette Turney
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. R. Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answer him fully &amp;amp; also how Chaplains are apptd - if he can find a vacancy &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finney, Fayette.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fairfield Ills. Sept 26th 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asks for some position by which he can serve his country. He preaches sometimes (Anti-Slavery Methodism) and would accept position of Chaplain.
&lt;/p&gt;

Sept. 26th/64.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov R. Yates:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tho' not personally acquainted with you, I had the honor of voting to elevate you to the position you now occupy. You were, I presume, acquainted with L. Jay S. Turney, (my brother) recently Sec. of Washington Terr: &amp;amp; probably with my Father - Dr. Daniel Turney who has several times represented Wayne Co. in the State Legislature and also with my Bro. Dr. J. J. R. Turney recently a delegate to the "Chicago Convention" &amp;amp; "Springfield Convention". Now, my bro L. Jay S. is "all night on the goose", but I lament to confess, Daddy &amp;amp; the Dr. are on the Cop side!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, I am ready to serve my Country in any capacity, but like many others would like a position! If my Governor
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;has any honorable place to appoint me to, I am at his services. I preach sometimes, (and I preach the Anti-Slavery Methodism) and could act as Chaplain, if there should be an opening. I am a tolerable Clerk, &amp;amp; could accept a position as such.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, I have no claims, farther than any other Loyal man Governor, but will say that, I should be pleased to be employed in some position.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obt. Servt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fayette Turney
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. R. Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answer him fully &amp;amp; also how Chaplains are apptd - if he can find a vacancy &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finney, Fayette.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fairfield Ills. Sept 26th 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asks for some position by which he can serve his country. He preaches sometimes (Anti-Slavery Methodism) and would accept position of Chaplain.
&lt;/p&gt;
