&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had a conversation with Secy Stanton last week, he told me that all the Ills Soldiers who were in Hospital or unfit for active service should be furloughd until after the Election.  That lists should be furnished to him from this State.  In Indiana measures are being taken to make out such lists.  In order to do so I suppose the Hospitals should be visited by a good man.  It would require several men probably.  I could furnish one to look after the Soldiers of this Dist

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He says he can furnish a man to look after soldiers from that Dist.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Applicn made &amp;amp; ans
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;H
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Loomis
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please write him and ask him whether he has any thing in writing from Stanton - also write my Galena P Master I wish him to come down &amp;amp; accept host of [albrit?] with him to go by all means

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To his Excellency Gov Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had a conversation with Secy Stanton last week, he told me that all the Ills Soldiers who were in Hospital or unfit for active service should be furloughd until after the Election.  That lists should be furnished to him from this State.  In Indiana measures are being taken to make out such lists.  In order to do so I suppose the Hospitals should be visited by a good man.  It would require several men probably.  I could furnish one to look after the Soldiers of this Dist 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please let me hear from you on this subject
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;B. C. Cook
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cook Hon B. C.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He had a conversation with Secty. Stanton who told him that all soldiers in hospitals who were not fit for the field should be furloughed until after Election, and that lists of these soldiers should be furnished to him.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He says he can furnish a man to look after soldiers from that Dist.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Applicn made &amp;amp; ans
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;H
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Loomis
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please write him and ask him whether he has any thing in writing from Stanton - also write my Galena P Master I wish him to come down &amp;amp; accept host of [albrit?] with him to go by all means
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;September 19 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Letters were received on Saturday, stating that General Meredith, who has succeeded Gen. Paine at Paducah, Kenty,- in a speech delivered by him before the 134th Regt of Ills Volunteers (100 day men) now at Mayfield, Kenty, said "We should Keep that Regiment there to level the present Forts, build new ones, and teach them Discipline"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several of the Parents &amp;amp; Friends of the young men (some of whom are minors) have call'd on me, and requested I would write to you stating facts-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If their Col: (McChesney) now reported to be under arrest, has committed himself, the Regiment ought not to suffer for obeying orders, or his misconduct.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They are volunteers, enlisted out of pure Patriotism, and their Time was out about the 4th Instant
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They wish to come Home and be muster'd out of the Service.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A great portion of the men intend to Reinlist and receive the Bounty, but if they are badly &amp;amp; unjustly treated, they will undoubtedly change their mind,-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Regiment is now placed in a peculiarly antagonistic position with the Sesesh &amp;amp; Rebels, in consequence of the severe measures adopted by General Paine &amp;amp; carried out by them, as ordered. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I therefore address your Excellency and urge your interposition at Head Quarters to the effect that the 134th Regt of Ills Vols be immediately sent home and muster'd out of the Service
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apologizing for thus intruding on your time, and requesting your immediate attention to the matter.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to be Sir
Your obt. Servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edwin Hunt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency Richard Yates, Governor of the State of Illinois Springfield
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hunt Edwin
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago Sept 19th 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On behalf of the 134th 100 Days Men whose time is out-but Gen Meredith says he intends to "Keep them there to level forts, build new ones, and teach them discipline"-Says the boys will reenlist if promptly mustered out
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ansd Sept 24th 1864

&lt;p&gt;To his Excellency       Artesia Iroquois Co Sept 18, 1864  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richard Yates, Gov. of the State of Ill.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                 Dear Sir,
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When in April last your Excellency called for 30,000
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;one hundred days volunteers, my son, with other young
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;men, many of them students in a literary institution in this
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;county, dropped their books and answered that call. They
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;were mustered into the 134th Regit, and are now at Maysfield,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;K.y. Their time is out, and yet the Satrap who rules in the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;place of that faithful officer, Gen Payne, refuses to 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;dismiss them, and has set them at work on the fortifications,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in the place of the citizens, whom he dismissed, and said he
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“would let them know the soldiers place,”— and would keep
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;them as long as “he pleased,” and the like. Several of the boys
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;are sick, and the last letter home my son bro,t the news that
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;he was unfit for duty—that he had kept at his post as
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;long as he could. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;   I ask your Excellency, is there no redress, from
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;such upstart tyranny! They call Pres. Lincoln, a tyrant,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;but if he approached within a thousand miles of such tyran
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ny, there might be some justice in the accusation.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;   Can your Excellency do any thing to redress this [out
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-rage?]? If so I trust that you will attend to it without delay.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                        Very truly yours
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                        Geo. Heedham
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;——
This needs 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;response
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and attention
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Buckley P.O.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Iroquois Co. Sept 20. 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geo. Heedham
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His son and several [other?]
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;young men in that county
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;who were students of a
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;literary institution. dropped
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;their books and responded to the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;call for 100 Days men.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There time has expired
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and they are still kept 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to work on fortifications.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can they not be discharged?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ansd Sept [30th?] 1864
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a general desire in this County to have you make an appointment to speak during the present canvass. We would like very much to have you about the 10th or 12" of October If we can only engage you &lt;u&gt;positively&lt;/u&gt; we can get up a &lt;u&gt;splendid meeting&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bromwell will be here at the same time
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My own health has been such during the Summer that I have not been able to do any thing in the way of Canvassing. I am taking good care of myself in the hope that I shall be able to devote October to the work
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While we have but little fear but that we shall carry the county I am worried about the seeming apathy that prevails here
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;I implore you to come if it is possible&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very truly Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Franklin Blades

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a general desire in this County to have you make an appointment to speak during the present canvass. We would like very much to have you about the 10th or 12" of October If we can only engage you &lt;u&gt;positively&lt;/u&gt; we can get up a &lt;u&gt;splendid meeting&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bromwell will be here at the same time
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My own health has been such during the Summer that I have not been able to do any thing in the way of Canvassing. I am taking good care of myself in the hope that I shall be able to devote October to the work
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While we have but little fear but that we shall carry the county I am worried about the seeming apathy that prevails here
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;I implore you to come if it is possible&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very truly Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Franklin Blades
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the close of the year 1862, Brig. Genl. A. W. Ellett organized the Mississippi Marine Brigade, recruiting therefor from Hospitals and convalescent Camps those Soldiers who by Surgeon's Certificate were declare incapable for field Service but supposed to be able to act as Marines on the Miss.

(198) One hundred and ninety eight soldiers from your state were mustered out of their respective State organizations and sworn into the said Marine Brigade. They have now served in said Brigade about eighteen months, many of them have previously served an equal length of time in your State Organizations, thus completing the full period of their enlistment.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They have appointed me their agent to procure an order from the President of the United
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;States for their discharge, and I am now on my way to Washington City with the view of obtaining such an order.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Miss. Marine Brigade is composed of soldiers from sixteen States, a Copy of this Letter has been sent to the Governors of each state.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Brigade has been disbanded by order of Maj. Genl. Canby and placed on Garrison duty, and if fully discharged from service by order of the President many of them doubtless will re-enlist as Veterans from their respective States. And on behalf of the Soldiers enlisted in said Brigade from your State, I have most respectfully to ask of your Excellency that you indite a letter of commendation of a request for their discharge to his Excellency A. Lincoln and enclose the same under cover to me in care of Charles B. Brady, Room No. 4 Adjutant Genl's Office Washington D.C. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May it please your Excellency
I am Your most obdt Servt

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Miss. Marine Brigade is composed of soldiers from sixteen States, a Copy of this Letter has been sent to the Governors of each state.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Brigade has been disbanded by order of Maj. Genl. Canby and placed on Garrison duty, and if fully discharged from service by order of the President many of them doubtless will re-enlist as Veterans from their respective States. And on behalf of the Soldiers enlisted in said Brigade from your State, I have most respectfully to ask of your Excellency that you indite a letter of commendation of a request for their discharge to his Excellency A. Lincoln and enclose the same under cover to me in care of Charles B. Brady, Room No. 4 Adjutant Genl's Office Washington D.C. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May it please your Excellency
