Cairo April the 24th 1864 Your Excellency! We wish heartily you would come down here and convince yourself of the miserable state we are in. Encamped in the imense quagmire round Cairo we are after having escaped the perils of war in imminent danger of being swallowed up by sickness. The alluvial soil round here is by the least rain converted into a swamp as we are at present wading ankle deep in the mud or in dry weather the stench, arising from the decaying vegetable matter is sure to finish up what bullets in the South could not do. I wish, every father and every mother in Illinois who has a son in the army might come down here and see with their own <hr /> eyes how the lives of the defenders of the country are trifled with, and I am sure a cry of indignation would rise over the land and hurl into merited disgrace the stupid planner of this Reorganisation Camp. You always looked with the most scrupulous care upon the welfare of the Illinois soldiers, and are for that very reason almost idolized by them, even now the only talk amongst them is : "If but Dick knew how we are situated, it would soon be altered." Well Sir, although but a private, I dare to let you known our situation, because I known if it is in your power, you will make an alteration. Send us up to the front, we will have a chance, or anyhow <hr /> die a honorable death but don't let your men rot away in the swamp or get disabled by rheumatism or fever Most Respectfully I sign Yours obedient Servant A.

Philadelphia April 29th 1864 Dear Gov. Yates, I received a week since your message through Mrs. Yates and Mrs. Woodworth. Though it was too late for me to avail myself your kindness, I should have written to you at once but for a sudden and severe illness. You have perhaps heard that I did return in Washington - and how unfortunate the time proved to be coming in the midst of the [Long?] Excitement. The affair was being badly managed and caused so me so much worriment <hr /> vexation and general disquietude as to give me a serious fit of illness. If I ever see you I will tell you just how it was. It is too long a story to write. I suspect that several who signed the call did not know - were not informed of its object. I know that it was the case with one of my oldest and best friends in the House - one whose influence alone could have secured a perfect success - but he knew nothing about the affair till the evening of the lecture. Yet his name was affixed to the invitation. When I found that things were not going well, I wished <hr /> of him for your influence. Nobody asked the President to be present - and he wasn't. He would have liked the portion of the lecture referring to him, I am sure. It would have been better could the lecture have been given later - but it seemed imported that it should be given there before it was given here in the Academy of Music - in aid of our First Sanitary Fair. Both lectures I gave away the one in this city was a success. I hope you and yours are well. Love to Mrs. Yates and Katy - <hr /> P.S. Anna Dickinson is out flat-footed against Lincoln - say the Boston "Post" & "Courier" - She scolded about the administration here. The heartiest applause I received at the Academy of Music was for the passages in favor of Mr. Lincoln - sincere tributes to his honest upright purpose. It seems to me he is the strongest man - in the hearts of the people, we have. But if Anna Dickinson is the mouth-piece of the Radicals they are determined to [illegible] If we are done for. <hr /> Grace Greenwood Philada.
