<p>[With George O. Glavis letter 2/1/64]
</p><p>(Circular No.3.)
</p><p>U. S. Sanitary Commission for New Jersey,
</p><p>Office, 255 Broad street, Newark.
</p><p>Dear Sir:
</p><p>The U.S. Sanitary Commission is in urgent want of funds. Its operations for the relief of the Army were never more extensive and effective than now. Its depots and agents are at every military centre, from Washington to the Rio Grande. The money value of the supplies it issued to the Army of the Potomac during and immediately after Gettysburg, exceeded seventy thousand dollars. Its issues at Chattanooga were on a like scale. Thousands of men needing "Special Relief" are daily cared for in its "Homes" Its steamboats and wagon trains follow our soldiers everywhere. Its other and equally important depatments of work - Sanitary Inspection, Hospital Inspection, Hospital Directory, Transportation of the sick and wounded, &c., are in full operation. Aid has also been extended to refugees from various parts of the South. Since July last 3,500 persons alone passed through Cairo, 3,000 of whom sought and obtained pecuniary aid from the Sanitary Agents there. The cost of this life-saving work is not less than forty-five thousand dollars per month. The funds are now much reduced, and immediate contributions are requested to sustain it.
</p><p>New Jersey, as a State, has, so far, not done justice to herself in this matter. Having had hitherto no systematic organization, she has scattered her benevolence, and consequently received no credit for it. As other States work as organized bodies, and as the future historian will record the aid given by each State, New Jersey should not be found wanting in this noble record. She ought to be in the good work all over as a unit. This Commission aims to bring about this good result. You are hereby appointed as one of the Committee for your Township, and are respectfully requested to inform us of your acceptance at an early day.
</p><p>Bring the facts of what the Sanitary Commission has, by the blessing of God, been enabled to do, prominently before all. Stir your town
</p>
<hr /> and neighborhood to the depth. Call forth all its patriotism. If your people knew a tithe of the relief thus afforded to our brave boys, you could not keep a spare dollar in any man's pocket out of the treasury, nor leave one woman's fingers idle while the war lasts and a single soldier lies in filthy or bloody clothes, to be replaced by her industry and pity.
<p>To facilitate your labors permit us to make the following suggestions:
</p><p>1. Where there is no organization in existence, call together a few of your leading citizens to arrange for a public meeting. At this meeting appoint a Committee of five, or more, of your most active, stirring men. Let this Committee district the city or township, and appoint ladies or gentlemen, as it sees fit, as Collectors to call upon every family. Have a meeting at least once a week of the Committee and Collectors to report progress, etc. See that the churches and other organizations co-operate in this work of benefiting the sick and wounded soldier, by holding Fairs, (Township, City or Church Fairs,) where contributions of every production of the Farmers, Manufacturers, Machinists, Mechanics, Merchants, Clothiers, Jewelers, Milliners, Gardeners, etc., may be received and disposed of.
</p><p>2. In order, moreover, that nothing, however small, which even our youth can contribute, may be lost to the general offering, it is requested that Directors and Teachers of Schools, public and private, everywhere, invite their pupils to prepare articles of their own handiwork.
</p><p>3. We also invoke the aid and influence of the women of the State, as individuals in their homes and social circles, and as classes in their churches, aid societies and other organizations
</p><p>4. Headings for books, authorizing subscriptions, will be furnished on application.
</p><p>5. It is hoped that all present organizations will make this Commission the channel through which they convey their contributions (we would blush to call them charities,) and communicate to us also their past labors and results.
</p><p>6. The Commission is preparing for early publication, to be followed by regular issues, a Pamphlet containing items of interest relating to the work, together with donations received and the names of the donors, as also the various Committees engaged in the good cause. To enable us to make this as complete as possible, early communications, as to progress, etc., are solicited. These pamphlets will form the basis of a complete history, to be published hereafter as a testimonial of the sterling patriotism and devoted sympathy of New Jersey.
</p>
<hr />
<p>7. All articles forwarded should be accompanied with a statement of their value.
</p><p>8. New Jersey has been invited, with other States, to participate in the Metropolitan Fair, which will be held in New York City on the 28th of March.
</p><p>To meet the wishes of those friends of the cause who desire to take a part in it, the Commission has deemed it desirable to accede to the request, and appointed a Committee on this Fair, of which WALTER RUTHERFURD, Esq., is Chairman.
</p><p>Co-operation in this Fair will be an auxiliary to the Commission, but is in nowise designed to interfere with either the proposed collections or Fairs contemplated to be held in the different Townships.
</p><p>New Jersey will have a separate place and be credited with the amount of the contributions of her citizens.
</p><p>All merchants, manufacturers, artisans, farmers, painters, sculptors, booksellers, musical instrument makers, etc., who desire to contribute to this Fair should have their goods ready for delivery on the 18th of March.
</p><p>9. All contributions and communications direct to U. S. Sanitary Commission, Newark, New Jersey.
</p><p>10. The influence of the Press, in furthering our efforts, is earnestly requested.
</p><p>Please report your proceedings weekly, either verbally or by letter.
</p><p>Meetings of the Committee will be held every Wednesday afternoon at 3 P.M., at which you are invited to be present.
</p><p>Office hours daily from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M.

<p>State of Illinois
Executive Department
Springfield Feby 2 1864
</p><p>Major Genl US Grant
</p><p>Dear General
</p><p>I desire to write you a confidential letter at the request of Col Tillson, 10th Ills Infantry. From his statements, he and most of his officers lack confidence in General Morgan and desire to be transfered to another command. So far as he is concerned (Col Tillson) I can see that the feeling is such that I think it would be better that he was under a different command. Genl Wood and Col Grimshaw as he says share largely in the same desire. It is perhaps not proper for me to write you confidentially on such a subject - my excuse is that I presume a letter on our former friendship - I do so because I do not wish to express any opinion as to who is at fault, Genl M. or Col T. but simply for the good of both and the service. From a longer acquaintance with Col. T. than you have, I feel that the change is very necessary and if you can have it made I am satisfied that it will be for the best. Col T. I am sure has the capacity for a splendid officer, and if you can consistently favor him in this behalf , you will not I think regret it. I have also entertained the highest opinion of Gen'l Morgan and do not wish to reflect upon him There seems to be [unconculobl?] misunderstanding which might be avoided by the change. I would be glad to hear from you on the subject, again requesting that you
</p>
<hr />
<p>will consider my communication as confidential. Further I hope that if change is made as good a regiment will be assigned to Genl Morgan.

<p>State of Illinois
Executive Department
Springfield Feby 2 1864
</p><p>Major Genl US Grant
</p><p>Dear General
</p><p>I desire to write you a confidential letter at the request of Col Tillson, 10th Ills Infantry. From his statements, he and most of his officers lack confidence in General Morgan and desire to be transfered to another command. So far as he is concerned (Col Tillson) I can see that the feeling is such that I think it would be better that he was under a different command. Genl Wood and Col Grimshaw as he says share largely in the same desire. It is perhaps not proper for me to write you confidentially on such a subject - my excuse is that I presume a letter on our former friendship - I do so because I do not wish to express any opinion as to who is at fault, Genl M. or Col T. but simply for the good of both and the service. From a longer acquaintance with Col. T. than you have, I feel that the change is very necessary and if you can have it made I am satisfied that it will be for the best. Col T. I am sure has the capacity for a splendid officer, and if you can consistently favor him in this behalf , you will not I think regret it. I have also entertained the highest opinion of Gen'l Morgan and do not wish to reflect upon him There seems to be [unconculobl?] misunderstanding which might be avoided by the change. I would be glad to hear from you on the subject, again requesting that you
</p>
<hr />
<p>will consider my communication as confidential. Further I hope that if change is made as good a regiment will be assigned to Genl Morgan.
</p><p>Truly Your friend
</p><p>Rich. Yates

<p>Lincoln Ill Feby 2, 1864
</p><p>Gov Yates -
</p><p>Dear Sir - After my best regards to you and acknowledgment to your courtesy & kindness for past favors, I wish to say to you that I have assured Samuel Johnson Corporal Co. "I" 106 Regiment Ills. Vol. Infantry - who has been home for two months on recruiting service and has filled his own company that if he would fill Company "H" 106 - which is short 20 men that he, if Cols. Latham & Yates could effect such a result, with you, should be commissioned Second Lieut - Company "H." 106 Regt. The company has a capt Danforth & 1st Lieut. Berry - and can not get a second Lieut without having first been recruited
</p>
<hr />
<p>and a new company forming offered Johnson a 1st Lieutenancy if he would get the 20 men - which he can do, but don't want to leave Col Latham and Co "H" can never be filled in my judgment unless he fills it - And I assure you that he is competent - is a number one man, and one of "Bobs" most favorite men in the Regiment - He is recruiting fast - and I know that nothing would please Latham more than to have him commissioned, and that there could but little else occur that he would regret more than to loose him from the Regiment and fail to fill company "H" - which when fully recruited will fill up his Regiment -
</p><p>Johnson wants to know something about the matter - and I
</p>
<hr />
<p>again assure you that it is not only for the interest of the service and the Regiment but to the interest of the Cols Latham & Yates for the appointment to the made - It wrongs and it will wrong no one - but on the contrary it is just and proper, and would give general satisfaction in the Regiment -
</p><p>Recruiting is going on here quite brisk, but there are so many parties engaged in it that to get 20 men is no small job -
</p><p>Please write me what I may so to Johnson -
</p><p>Yours truly

<p>Headquarters 50th Ills. Vol. Infty
</p><p>Quincy Illinois February 3rd 1864
</p><p>To His Excellency
</p><p>Hon. Richard Yates
</p><p>Governor of Illinois
</p><p>Dear Sir
</p><p>The following statement in regard to the original muster-into-Service of the 50th Ills. Inft.y are respectfully submitted, and your influence to have the matter properly adjusted is earnestly solicited.
</p><p>On the 12th of September 1861 seven companies of the regiment were mustered into service by Capt. Pitcher U.S.A. Of these companies A. B. and D had the minimum number of men. Companies C. E. & F very near the minimum and Company G. twenty one men. The muster-in-Rolls of the foregoing companies, were sent to Capt. Pitcher at Springfield, for his signature, but nothing has ever been heard in regard to them since, and as they were never received at the War Department, there exists no official knowledge at that office of the organization of the regiment.
</p><p>On the 29th of Sept. 1861 the regiment was ordered to Hannibal Mo. and from there to Chillicothe Mo. where we were paid by Maj. Bundy. At the time Maj. Bundy paid the regiment companies I and K were not full, but were on duty with the regiment. Companies H. I &. K.
</p>
<hr />
<p>and all men enlisted after the 12th of September 1861 and previous to July 1862, were sworn in by myself, there being no opportunity to have them mustered into Service by a U.S. officer.
</p><p>On or about the 15th of Nov. 1861 all the Field and Staff except the Major Surgeon and Asst. Surgeon (who were absent and have never been mustered) were mustered into Service by Brig. Genl. Todd, but the rolls have never been received at the Adjutant Generals office.
</p><p>Several communications have been sent to the War Department stating these facts, but no action whatever has been taken in the matter.
</p><p>I know of no way of rectifying these errors, except by an order from the War Department, to muster the regiment and date it back to the time of entering the service; or, by a Special Act of Congress.
</p><p>Hoping the above may elicit your attention and that you will devise some means to have the regiment relieved of the difficulties which exist in regard to is organization
</p><p>I have the honor to be
</p><p>Very Respectfully
</p><p>Your Obedient Servant
</p><p>MMBarr Colonel
</p><p>50th Ills. Vol. Infty.
</p>
<hr />
<p>Barr M.M
</p><p>Col. 50” Ills. Inf
</p><p>Quincy Feb 3d 64
</p><p>I regard to delay & neglect in Payment of his Regt.
