Camp Near Corinth Mass Aug. 10th. 1862. Gov Yates Dear sir. Your favor came duly to hand for which I am under great obligations to you. I went to see the Quartermaster and the Paymaster at Corinth, but they were both gone. The Quartermasters office is in St. Louis. My friends think I had better get you to procure my discharge, and give me a position in some of the new regiments that are being formed in Illinois. Our Major advised me to write to you, and procure a position if it could be done. I have two reasons that prompt me to seek a position at this time. One is my circumstances require that I should hold a position that will pay me more <hr /> than a privates pay. The other is on account of a mercurial affection of the limbs. I do not believe I will be able to march and carry, knapsack, gun and other accoutrements a soldier has to carry again. I would accept of a Lieut. Cols. or Majors position, or a Lieutenancy, in some Company. I would not seek any position, if I thought I was not competent to fill it. Our regiment I understand has been changed to the 66th Illinois. If true, there will probably be some vacancies in it soon, but, if anything can be accomplished would rather not wait. Could send recommendations from here, but deem it unnecessary, as the one I sent you is sufficient. If it is not too late, would like a position in Col. [Gwinips?] regiment at Mattoon, as I am well acquainted with the Col. <hr /> I am still anxious to serve my country in some capacity until the rebellion is put down. I have been in the service one year lacking one month, was at the battle of Mount Zion, Fort Donelson, Shiloh, and in the advancement on Corinth. May age and experiences induces me to aspire for something better than the position I have been filling, not that I am above filling the place of private for I think it an honorable position. The above I submit for your worthy consideration. Very Respectfully Yours Gilead Shaw I belong to Co. E. W.S.S. 14th Mo. Vols. <hr /> 14th Mo. Vols.

Dillon Illinois August the 11th 62 Respected Sir I have a son who may be liable to draft, though I know his health will not admit of his doing military service. He has been long afflicted with a rheumatic affection in his hip which often confines him to his bed for weeks at a time. We intended to get a substitute if he should be drafted, but I find from todays paper that substituted will not be received. I am 70 years old, have two sons in the Union Army in Ky and this one is all I have left to take care of me in my last moments. If you know of any way that will exempt him please let me know. I will give all I have to keep him with me. My husband whlile living was your <hr /> firm political friend and I hope you will do something to and his unhappy widow and afflicted son. Please write to me on the receipt of this and let us know what can legaly be done to exempt my son W.G. Boyle.
