with Inviled Soldiers and that you
wish to Comply with thare wishes
as far as you can gave me
Courage and hope to write to
you once more thare is a number
of Illinois boys heare at Camp
Dennison that has bin in the
Hospital from two to nine months
and as thare is an order to Send
all invileds to thare own State
we feel neglected as the Ohio boys
is coming to thare own State daly
and thare is no attention paid to
us we petitiond to you to have
us transferred you Say you have
not the power to order our transfer but you referred the Same to
</p><p>Ans'd Aug 15 63
</p>
<hr />
<p>the Surgeon General U.S.A.
with the Request that we be
transferred as we heard no more
about it we thought it might be
over looked and forgotten we got
up a Squad of fifty as It was
Rumered that number could be
transferred and handed them to
the Surgeon in Charge of Camp
Dr B [Cloak?] and he Said if
we would get an order from
Governor Yates he would
transfer us now we do trust to
Your Excelency for the Grant of
our Wishes the Ohio boys sent a
petition from Philadelpha to Gover
Tod and he had them all to
Camp Dennison in a few days
and they transfer they Ohio boys
from heare to any place they
want to go in thare Own State
whare thare is a Hospital thare
is some of our boys heare at
</p>
<hr />
<p>Camp that is detailed on Camp
Duty here which would be much
pleasantenter if they could do it in
thare in thare own State Some of
us has bin in the Hospital for
months and cant get to go home on
a furlow I have bin in the Hospital
Six Months with Spinal affection
and almost lost the use of my legs
ant worth any thing a fifteen
days furlow is all they will give
any of the boys hear it will for
thare own boys that lives close
but a fifteen days furlow would
be a poor thing for a Sick man
to go clear from heare to Illinois
and pay out two or three months
wages that has a family to keep
on his wages but thare is very few
Illinois boys gets a ferlow any how
if we was in our own State we
could have our folks come and See

a poor man can pay to have his
folks come and See him we are
Union Boys volenteered our Servis
for the good of our Country and
if we have done all we can we
have done our hole duty and if
we get able to go to the field
again we are willing to go with all
our harts but we would be much
better satisfied and think it would
be much better for our helth if
we could be transferred to our own
State and if we cant get able to
go to the field and thare was
light duty at some Camp thare
we could do it with a good heart
in our own State pleas do all you can

Hospital from two to nine months
and as thare is an order to Send
all invileds to thare own State
we feel neglected as the Ohio boys
is coming to thare own State daly
and thare is no attention paid to
us we petitiond to you to have
us transferred you Say you have
not the power to order our transfer but you referred the Same to
</p><p>Ans'd Aug 15 63
</p>
<hr />
<p>the Surgeon General U.S.A.
with the Request that we be
transferred as we heard no more
about it we thought it might be
over looked and forgotten we got
up a Squad of fifty as It was
Rumered that number could be
transferred and handed them to
the Surgeon in Charge of Camp
Dr B [Cloak?] and he Said if
we would get an order from
Governor Yates he would
transfer us now we do trust to
Your Excelency for the Grant of
our Wishes the Ohio boys sent a
petition from Philadelpha to Gover
Tod and he had them all to
Camp Dennison in a few days
and they transfer they Ohio boys
from heare to any place they
want to go in thare Own State
whare thare is a Hospital thare
is some of our boys heare at
</p>
<hr />
<p>Camp that is detailed on Camp
Duty here which would be much
pleasantenter if they could do it in
thare in thare own State Some of
us has bin in the Hospital for
months and cant get to go home on
a furlow I have bin in the Hospital
Six Months with Spinal affection
and almost lost the use of my legs
ant worth any thing a fifteen
days furlow is all they will give
any of the boys hear it will for
thare own boys that lives close
but a fifteen days furlow would
be a poor thing for a Sick man
to go clear from heare to Illinois
and pay out two or three months
wages that has a family to keep
on his wages but thare is very few
Illinois boys gets a ferlow any how
if we was in our own State we
could have our folks come and See
us if we couldent get home but
</p>
<hr />
<p>So far away it costs more than
a poor man can pay to have his
folks come and See him we are
Union Boys volenteered our Servis
for the good of our Country and
if we have done all we can we
have done our hole duty and if
we get able to go to the field
again we are willing to go with all
our harts but we would be much
better satisfied and think it would
be much better for our helth if
we could be transferred to our own
State and if we cant get able to
go to the field and thare was
light duty at some Camp thare
we could do it with a good heart
in our own State pleas do all you can
for us and get an order for us to be trans
ferred few or many what ever we can get
to gether and oblige true Union boys
