&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Major Woods Ills State Mil. Agent at Saint Louis Mo. informs me that several Illinois Soldiers in Hospitals, Can be transferred to their Own State when ever you signify a wish that it should be done.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Director Mills in charge of the Med. Department says he will order the transfer when we say we can accommodate them in Illinois.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Major W. is doing a fine work there. He is really more efficient than I thought he would be, The Western Sanitary Commission show him great favor, furnish him room for writing &amp;amp;c, and he gets his boarding on fair times. But he is extremely sensitive, and like his father cannot brook neglect, from high or or low stations. If he applies for instructions, do let these be sent without delay, He went to the post assigned him with the intent of doing his duty, His experience in the Army qualifies him, and gives him access to Officials
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please send him advises concerning the transfer of men to this Post.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think it my duty to put you on your guard concerning a projected uprising in Illinois by the Sons of Liberty so-called, with a design to seize the State Arsenal and arms.  Information has come to my ears within a few days which convinces me there is a plot on foot in this state and my own state, Illinois, to seize the State Arsenals, get possession of the arms and control the election.  In some portions of Illinois they are purchasing arms and amunition largely, distributing them &amp;amp; getting all things in readiness.  They are also doing so in this state now.  The rising is to be simultaneous.  Would it not be well to issue an order forbidding the selling of arms and amunition only under certain restrictions?  I know trouble is ahead.  "To be forwarned is to be forearmed."  Excuse me for presuming upon your attention.  You will recognize my name.  I am, Gov. Your loyal fellow-citizen and fellow-laborer for the suffering.  A. H. Lackey.
