Youngs Point La May 19th 1863 Hon J K Dubois Springfield Ill Dear Sir Knowing your willingness to lend assistance in any way you can to Illinois sons in the field, I shall presume a little on my acquaintance with you to address you on a matter of considerable interest to the second assistant surgeon of our Regiment Daniel Berry. - he is a Brother in Law of mine, and of course I feel aside from other considerations an interest in his success - our First assistant surgeon has been detached from us for several months - and for some time past our surgeon has been at home and the whole care of the Hospital & our sick has devolved on Dr Berry - and I am sure he has rendered general satisfaction - He got the appointment of assistant surgeon at the time of the organization of the Regt and got an order from Gov Yates to the Board of Medical Examiners to be examined they were so engaged at the time they could not attend to it - but promised they would notify him soon to meet them - and directed that he should go to the Regt in the meantime where he has been ever since - a period of nine months - at the time he got an <hr /> order for examinations from Gov Yates he went to Chicago to meet the Board, at of course considerable expense to himself - without accomplishing anything - since then he has heard nothing from the Board although he has written to them on the subject of the Examination several times - He has yet received no commission from the Gov. The commissions of all the other officers of the Regt bear date Oct 3 1862. It seems to me under the circumstances his commission ought to be issued also - If the Board were to order him before them now we could not let him go, as the Regt really needs his services - I have but a bare acquaintance with Gov Yates, and I desire under the circumstances, if you feel that you can consistently with your duty to the service use your influence with the Gov to have his commission issued, and forwarded to him at this place, Berry used to live in your county Lawrence, and I am well satisfied he is in every way fully competent to fill the position he has now held with credit to himself for the last nine months Your attention to the above request will place under lasting obligations Your friend truly John M Crels Lt Col 87th Regt Ill Vols <hr /> Crels John W Military A.G.O. [illegible] June 1. 63- Respectfully returned - Dr. Danl Berry was mustered as 2nd Asst Surg Oct 3. 62, but not commissioned, as he never passed the Medical Board, altho a permit has been issued to him for his examination - A vacancy yet exists and another permit can be sent if desired - A certificate from the Med. Board is required before commission can issue - D.L. Gold Asst Adj Genl Rect Ex O.
