Jacksonville Augst 28 -1862 To his excellency Gov Yates Dear Sir I have recd. letters from several Physicians and others and a desire expressed by many of our soldiers requesting me to intercede with you in this , That at least one Homeopathic Physician be appointed as Surgeon or assistant in each Regt, now being formed where such appointment be requested. In such a case Surgeons of different schools, could act in concert, Surgery being the same in all schools, and in medical practice the sick could have their choice. Your petitioners through me reason I think justly -- on this wise. That the Homeopathic system of practice has the confidence of the public in every community in the <hr />loyal states, and its adherents are among the intelligent, thinking classes, whose wealth and influence are now given to the Administration in all its measures. A very large portion of the regular and volunteer forces now in the field desire Homeopathic practice, and count it one of the severest privations of the service, that in sickness they are to be deprived of the benefits of this mild and humane method of administration. And while we are devoting our lives and money to the service of our common country in this her hour of peril, we feel we we have the right to ask you, that when striken down by disease or casualty, we may have that system of practice in which alone we can confide. I am aware you have a medical board to decide who are qualified among those who desire to enter as Surgeons <hr /> in our army: I am also informed they have desided to reccommend none who are not of the Alopathic School, be their attainments and standing in their respective localities what they may, from the lowest, to the highest, commendation. Now with all due defference to this board I must say such action is illiberal, unjust, and inconsistent. As well might the authorities determine to make no officer unless he be of Demicratic party, and appoint no Chaplain unless he belong to the Episcopal Church. The Homeopathic Colleges are Chartered and respected by the same state or law making authorities that Alopathic colleges are. Homeopathic Physicians are appointed to the most important positions in the armies and navies of foreign Countries, and why deny them to our own at a time when we are in the greatest need. <hr /> Why should the poor soldier be denied (as such) a privilege and blessing secured to him at home when such can be furnished him without additional expense at a time when he is far from home and friends. No chief magistrate in any loyal State has surpassed or even equaled you in labor of love and humanity indefatigable, this has endeared you to our people and especially to our Soldiers in their peril and suffering (irrespective of party) more than all other conciderations: Thus I feel the greater delicacy in adding to your arduous duties by my petition. I am assured you know me too well to suppose I am or can be actuated by selfish or mercenary motives for my feeble health admonishes me daily, home is my proper place. Governor it is a fact of which I am convinced, that there are many of our army surgeons who are mere tyroes doing mor harm than good: And though the task be difficult I am persevaided you cannot do a greater good than correct it as in your powers it may be. <hr /> Think me not officious or dictatorial I know you will not when I make the following suggestions: If the the present board are so clannish and bigoted they will not change their views, change them and appoint a better: or if not appoint a board of the new school who will be found patriotic & benevolent enough to serve without additional expense to the state if need be. Without the time and expense of going further I think they may be obtained at the capital and would suggest the names Drs Adams Miller Lathrope & Potter, to examine and report on Homeopathic candidates So long as Doctors differ So long the people will differ, and such action as I have honestly and I hope respectfully proposed will subserve the object intended by our own State in chartering the two schools to give the citizens their choice. <hr /> While I am assured you will do what you believe to be your duty in all that pertains to the happiness of our country in its present trials, I am encouraged to know you have the prayers and efforts of all the wise and good (when number is yet great) to sustain you not only in our own state, but through all the land of the free, and the home of the brave, and writing most heartily with all such, I have the honor to be as ever your old friend G.Y.

GENERAL ORDERS, No. 121. WAR DEPARTMENT, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, Washington, August 29, 1862. ORDER CONCERNING SUPPLIES TO DRAFTED MILITIA. The commissioners for drafting in each county will, on the assembling of the draft at the county seat, appoint a lance corporal for every eight men, and a lance sergeant for every sixteen men, and will make fair and reasonable contracts for cooked provisions sufficient to subsist the men until their arrival at the camp of the rendezvous, and twenty-four hours thereafter; copies of these contracts, and duplicate bills, certified by the commissioner and by the mustering officer, will be sent to the Commissary General for payment. The commissioner will accompany the men to the camp, taking the control of them, providing for their transportation by railroad or steamboat when practicable, and where it is necessary to march, he may provide a reasonable amount of transportation for the provisions and baggage of the men. The expenses of transportation will be paid by the Quartermaster's Department on duplicate bills, certified by the commissioner. The chief mustering officer of each State will immediately, in conformity with the regulations of the Subsistence Department, advertise for separate proposals and make contracts for uncooked rations for each camp, and will also immediately make their requisitions on the Commissary General for funds to meet all subsistence for drafted men, while they remain at camp of rendezvous. Until companies are organized, the rations will be supplied on the returns of the commander of each camp, and his receipt will be the basis for a settlement with the contractor. After organization into companies, rations will be issued on returns signed by the company commanders, and approved by the commandant of the camp. <hr /> After being organized into regiments, rations will be supplied to the Regimental Quartermaster on regimental returns signed by him, and approved by the Colonel -- the Regimental Quartermaster being charged with their distribution to the companies. Cooking utensils, and such other camp equipage and blankets as can be furnished by the Quartermaster's Department, will be supplied as soon as possible by the United States Quartermasters hereinafter named, on the requisitions of the commandants of camps of rendezvous within their respective districts, and will be issued by such commandants to the men, as follows: Each man receiving a blanket will receipt for the same, which receipt will be turned over by the commandant of the camp of rendezvous to the quartermaster of his regiment, as soon as he shall be appointed, and he shall make the proper entry on his account. Camp equipage, issued before the organization of companies, will be receipted for by the lance sergeant of the squad, and taken up by the quartermaster of the regiment, on his return, as soon as the regiment is organized. When issued after the organization of a company, it will be receipted for by the captain, and taken up in like manner. It will be the duty of the officer of the United States Quartermaster's Department to forward to the several camps of rendezvous, as soon as possible, camp and garrison equipage, necessary for the first organization. Arrangements now in progress will provide the uniform clothing, which will not be issued to the soldiers until the organization of regiments is completed. As the sudden call for volunteers and militia has exhausted the supply of blankets, fit for military purposes, in the market, and it will take some time to procure by manufacture or importation a sufficient supply, all citizens who may volunteer or be drafted are advised to take with them to the rendezvous, if possible, a good stout woolen blanket. The regulation military blanket is 84x66 inches, and weighs five pounds.

GENERAL ORDERS, No. 121. WAR DEPARTMENT, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, Washington, August 29, 1862. ORDER CONCERNING SUPPLIES TO DRAFTED MILITIA. The commissioners for drafting in each county will, on the assembling of the draft at the county seat, appoint a lance corporal for every eight men, and a lance sergeant for every sixteen men, and will make fair and reasonable contracts for cooked provisions sufficient to subsist the men until their arrival at the camp of the rendezvous, and twenty-four hours thereafter; copies of these contracts, and duplicate bills, certified by the commissioner and by the mustering officer, will be sent to the Commissary General for payment. The commissioner will accompany the men to the camp, taking the control of them, providing for their transportation by railroad or steamboat when practicable, and where it is necessary to march, he may provide a reasonable amount of transportation for the provisions and baggage of the men. The expenses of transportation will be paid by the Quartermaster's Department on duplicate bills, certified by the commissioner. The chief mustering officer of each State will immediately, in conformity with the regulations of the Subsistence Department, advertise for separate proposals and make contracts for uncooked rations for each camp, and will also immediately make their requisitions on the Commissary General for funds to meet all subsistence for drafted men, while they remain at camp of rendezvous. Until companies are organized, the rations will be supplied on the returns of the commander of each camp, and his receipt will be the basis for a settlement with the contractor. After organization into companies, rations will be issued on returns signed by the company commanders, and approved by the commandant of the camp. <hr /> After being organized into regiments, rations will be supplied to the Regimental Quartermaster on regimental returns signed by him, and approved by the Colonel -- the Regimental Quartermaster being charged with their distribution to the companies. Cooking utensils, and such other camp equipage and blankets as can be furnished by the Quartermaster's Department, will be supplied as soon as possible by the United States Quartermasters hereinafter named, on the requisitions of the commandants of camps of rendezvous within their respective districts, and will be issued by such commandants to the men, as follows: Each man receiving a blanket will receipt for the same, which receipt will be turned over by the commandant of the camp of rendezvous to the quartermaster of his regiment, as soon as he shall be appointed, and he shall make the proper entry on his account. Camp equipage, issued before the organization of companies, will be receipted for by the lance sergeant of the squad, and taken up by the quartermaster of the regiment, on his return, as soon as the regiment is organized. When issued after the organization of a company, it will be receipted for by the captain, and taken up in like manner. It will be the duty of the officer of the United States Quartermaster's Department to forward to the several camps of rendezvous, as soon as possible, camp and garrison equipage, necessary for the first organization. Arrangements now in progress will provide the uniform clothing, which will not be issued to the soldiers until the organization of regiments is completed. As the sudden call for volunteers and militia has exhausted the supply of blankets, fit for military purposes, in the market, and it will take some time to procure by manufacture or importation a sufficient supply, all citizens who may volunteer or be drafted are advised to take with them to the rendezvous, if possible, a good stout woolen blanket. The regulation military blanket is 84x66 inches, and weighs five pounds. As all clothing, blankets, and shoes issued by the United States to its troops are charged at average cost, and no soldier who furnished his own blanket is required to draw one, it is to his interest to supply himself, and thereby avoid much discomfort, as it is impossible for the United States to supply all the troops immediately. <hr /> The camps of rendezvous in the different States will be supplied by the United States Quartermasters, as follows: Camps in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Captain McKim, Assistant Q.
