Robert E Stevenson to Richard Yates

Jacksonville Sept 11th 61

Gov Yates

Dear sir

I wrote to you some time since in reference to an appointment in the medical department. But I have since changed my mind and would much prefer a commission on the field. I served three months in Capt Kings Company at Cairo and had considerable experience as far as drilling is concerned, before

If you can do any thing for me I would like to hear very soon

Mr Ross will hand this to you

I remain yours

Robert E Stevenson

P.S. I will be at Springfield Saturday but if you can answer by Ross I would much prefer it

RES

Robt E Steven

Jacksonville
