General. I have the honor to inform you that in the early part of June last I was placed in command of the 69th Regiment Ills. Vols. which with the 67th Regiment Ills. Vols. (both three months troops) were organized for Garrison duty at this Camp in charge of Prisoners of War, and as senior Officer was directed to assume command of the Camp. Upon the expiration of the term of service of the above Regiments, or soon after, they were mustered out of service. But, as there was at that time much business connected with the Prisoner of War unsettled and also <hr />several Regiments & Batteries of Illinois Volunteers then being organized for the field at this Camp and no Officer here to relieve me, at the suggestion of His Excellency Governor Yates an order was received from yourself continuing myself & staff in service until the first of January 1863 and which term of service now being nearly expired, before retiring, I beg leave to call your attention to a few facts which I regard important for the Government to consider without delay. I have the honor to enclose a hasty sketch of the history of this Camp and beg leave to say that there have been a large number of claims presented to me for occupation of grounds by Illinois Volunteers in this Camp and around it, together with damage to said property which I am well satisfied if promptly investigated and adjusted at this time will save the Government large sums in the future and do justice to many loyal citizens residing in the vicinity of the Camp. I beg leave also to inform you that on the 30th of October last Brig. Genl Tyler who arrived her in charge <hr />of the paroled troops from Harper's Ferry assumed general command at this Camp as per enclosed Order (Genl. Order NO 1) and that during the stay of these Troops in this Camp much damage to Government and private property was sustained by reason of the violence and insubordination of these troops. Just previous to his leaving Camp Douglas Brig. Gen'l Tyler issued the enclosed order (No 43) convening a Board of Survey to ascertain the damages to the Fair-Grounds near this Camp, and occupied by a part of the paroled Troops, and several thousands of dollars of claims have already been presented for damages by destruction of building and fences and there are a considerable number of other claims being presented not included in the order of Brig. Genl Tyler for investigation, which, together with claims for occupation of grounds and damages to property by Illinois Volunteers running back through 1861 make it my duty to communicate with you for information or instructions. <hr />I have the honor, General, to inform you also that the large number of deserters and stragglers through-out the State, as also the large amount of Government clothing and other property which appears to be stolen and brought or sent home from the Army seems to call for some more efficient measures to save the Government from terrible losses. An Officer specially detailed for this State with a small force charged with the duty of securing public property and arresting and sending to their Regiments stragglers and deserts, collecting Government clothing and other property stolen or otherwise, within the State, would probably meet this necessity. I am General, Very Respectfully Your Ovt. Servt. Joseph H.

Hon A C Fuller Adjutant General Springfield Dear Sir, I do not like to ask the Govener to do any thing for myself, while there are such a host of applicants for positions. But I will say to you, that I would like one of the new Brigades to be formed, unless there are better men to take them all. If I had that authority now, I believe that I could be of much Service at this moment in organizing the new Regiments. If the Govenor and yourself think as I do, I would like to have the authority from Washington at once, & by telegraph, so that not a day may be lost, But if it is not entirely Consistent, or would embarras your <hr />your operations. I would greatly prefer that nothing should be said about it. A couple of gentlemen you will remember kindly presented my name at or about the time Genl Hurlbut was appointed, to Govener Yates & Mr Lincoln, and Mr Lincoln saw to one of them, that I would have been appointed (as I am informed) upon the papers presented to him, but for the appointment of Genl Hulburt which had just been made, and I requested the Gentlemen (who undertook the matter voluntarily) to drop it. I shall talk to the 67th & 69th myself tomorrow. I am General Very Respectfully & hastily Joseph H Tucker <hr /> Joseph H. Tucker.

To/ His Excellency Richard Yates Govenor of Illinois Govener, I have just learned that you had passed through Chicago on your return home from the east without stopping. I regret exceedingly that I had not the pleasure of meeting you while east, but trust you received my note in Washington written in New York before my leaving for Chicago. I was under the impression there, that you might have changed you mind about going east at that time, not hearing from you. I beg to say Govener, that A N Van Buren late Adjutant of the 69th Rgt Ill Vols & Post Adjutant at Camp Douglas while under my Command, desires the position of Major of the new 121st Rgt to be organized under Colonel Hough. I understand that Colonel Hough and Lt. Col Pickett, are quite well <hr />Satisfied with the arrangement provided it meets your approbation, and if it should so meet with your approbation, will you be kind enough to signify it Colonel Hough. Van Buren made one of the best Post Adjutants that could have been found. I wrote to the Adjutant General from New York, requesting him to see you and send me such a letter as you could consistently sign, but he was absent from home, as he told me when here recently and I believe he is still at home sick. I am Govenor with Great respect Your obt Ser't Joseph H Tucker <hr />Joseph H Tucker, Chicago March 30 1863. Regrets that he did not have the pleasure of meeting the Governor - when in the east Recommends J H Van Buren late Adjt at Camp Dougas. - for the position of Major of Col Houghs Regiment - was a good Adjt and will make a good Major.
