Memphis Tenn Mar 26th 1863 His excellency Gov. Yates Dear Sir I hope you will excuse me for troubling you with a line at this time. I wish to Say to your Excellency however, That I wrote you a note last fall, Stating that I was not accepted in the Services according to the promise I made Your excellency, when though your clemency, I was pardoned, You replyed and advised me to try again. I did So, and was acepted. I entered the 63rd Reg. Ind Vol, as a private. I was Son detailed, to take charge of a Reg as Surgeon In which capacity I acted, until my abilities became apparent. Then I was detailed, in charge of the post hospital, at Indianapolis and by kind attention and manly deportment, I had gained the confidence of the Medical Director, (J S Bales?) who immediately Sent an application to the Sec. of war, and had me regularly appointed in charge of hospital. In which capacity I acted for a short time until the 100th Reg Ind Vol there in camp became So much attached to me. Not only as a Surgeon, but also as a man, that they Solicited me to accept an appointment, as Assistant Surgeon and came in to the field, which I did. At Holly Springs the Medical Director heard of me, and had me ditailed, and placed in Gen Hospital. I then was ordered to this place to open <hr /> or assist in opening a hospital, and allow me to Say that I have endeavored to discharge my every duty, in the Sight of my Maker towards our Suffering Soldiers, by being kind, and attentive to their wants, knowing how much a kind act is appreciated by those in distress. This reminds me of that kind act of your excellency, which took me from the confines of a Prison, and restored me to the blessings of Society and children who So much needed my aid: which act, I shall never forget, and I hope I never Shall prove my self unworthy of the favor. No, I Shall never disgrace Your favor; - never give Your Excellency cause to regret having confered So great a favor upon me who Should prove himself unworthy of its countless blessings. So far My conduct has Spoken a language to all who may take the trouble to trace my Steps; which will never reflect disgrace upon the favor. Although I have an old enemy who is at this time endeavoring to call up this old matter to my injury.

Memphis Tenn Mar 26th 1863 His excellency Gov. Yates Dear Sir I hope you will excuse me for troubling you with a line at this time. I wish to Say to your Excellency however, That I wrote you a note last fall, Stating that I was not accepted in the Services according to the promise I made Your excellency, when though your clemency, I was pardoned, You replyed and advised me to try again. I did So, and was acepted. I entered the 63rd Reg. Ind Vol, as a private. I was Son detailed, to take charge of a Reg as Surgeon In which capacity I acted, until my abilities became apparent. Then I was detailed, in charge of the post hospital, at Indianapolis and by kind attention and manly deportment, I had gained the confidence of the Medical Director, (J S Bales?) who immediately Sent an application to the Sec. of war, and had me regularly appointed in charge of hospital. In which capacity I acted for a short time until the 100th Reg Ind Vol there in camp became So much attached to me. Not only as a Surgeon, but also as a man, that they Solicited me to accept an appointment, as Assistant Surgeon and came in to the field, which I did. At Holly Springs the Medical Director heard of me, and had me ditailed, and placed in Gen Hospital. I then was ordered to this place to open <hr /> or assist in opening a hospital, and allow me to Say that I have endeavored to discharge my every duty, in the Sight of my Maker towards our Suffering Soldiers, by being kind, and attentive to their wants, knowing how much a kind act is appreciated by those in distress. This reminds me of that kind act of your excellency, which took me from the confines of a Prison, and restored me to the blessings of Society and children who So much needed my aid: which act, I shall never forget, and I hope I never Shall prove my self unworthy of the favor. No, I Shall never disgrace Your favor; - never give Your Excellency cause to regret having confered So great a favor upon me who Should prove himself unworthy of its countless blessings. So far My conduct has Spoken a language to all who may take the trouble to trace my Steps; which will never reflect disgrace upon the favor. Although I have an old enemy who is at this time endeavoring to call up this old matter to my injury. He noticed a publication in a Paris paper in my favor, and as he was an old competitor of mine in practice he is now resolved to keep me from rising if possible. In this, however, I think he will fail as on other occasions for he is known to be an old mallicious persecutor. My conduct has gained for me a name which He can never kill, for truth and justis will prevail while a just God rules. <hr /> I have been told that another bill [yet?] exists, in the Edgar Court, against me, on the old charge for which I was Sentenced in 61. and if possible this man, will Spare no pains, to obtain a requisition at your hands, and have me again brought back and tortured, to gratify his long pent up, Petty malice; but having acted honorably, and honestly, in all things, Since Your Excellency liberated me, I confide in your clemency, knowing that no man can bring any accusation against me, Since that time. for I have been doing all I could (honorably) to recover my self from my misfortune in order that I might relive my innocent children from the Stain, (one of whom, is now in the Service, in the 79th Reg. of Ills' Vol'. and at this time, not expected to live.

JOINT RESOLUTION In Relation to Enlarged Facilities of Transportation between the Great Lakes, the Atlantic Coast and Europe. WHEREAS, The agricultural interests of the great producing States of the Northwest, are the principal sources of their prosperity, and the opening of improved and enlarged facilities for the transportation of those products from the great lakes to the seaboard, tend directly to stimulate and increase the growth of these products, as well as to encourage and advance the interests of all branches of business, commercial or otherwise, prosecuted within those States; and WHEREAS, The present channel of communication, by way of the Erie Canal and the Hudson River, is scarcely sufficient to accommodate the present wants and wholly inadequate to meet the prospective demands of the great grain growing States bordering upon and tributary to these internal waters; and WHEREAS, The rivers and canals of Canada can be readily enlarged and improved so as to furnish ample and reliable facilities for transportation from the lakes to the Atlantic ocean, thereby saving to the western producer millions of dollars per annum, as well as a large per centage of the time now occupied in transit; therefore, Be it resolved, by the Senate of the State of Wisconsin, the Assembly concurring, That the Governor be and is hereby authorized to appoint a committee of five citizens of the State, to communicate with the provincial government and parliament of Canada, either by petition or by proceeding in person to the seat of said government, for the purpose of laying before that body, in a proper and respectful manner, statistics of the production and trade of the Western States, present and prospective; the inefficiency of the present thoroughfares connecting the lakes with the seaboard; the mutual advantages presented by their rivers and canals for the construction of such enlarged avenues as the interests of the west so imperiously demand, and the mutual benefits which must necessarily accrue from the proper improvement of these advantages to the constructors of such channel or channels, as well as to the western producer. Resolved, That the Governor be also authorized to appoint twenty-five delegates from this State, to attend the canal enlargement convention, which has been called to meet at Chicago, in June next, for the consideration of enlarged facilities of transportation to and from tide water. Resolved, That our neighboring States, similarly interested, be and are hereby respectfully invited to appoint like State committees, to act and co-operate with the committee hereby appointed for the attainment of the objects herein set forth; and that the Governor be and is hereby requested to send copies of this joint resolution and invitation, to each of the States so interested, and to our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and that the preceding preamble and resolutions be printed for the greater convenience of so doing.

Waterloo, Ills. March 29. 1863. Dear Sir The acts and demonstrations of the Copperheads and Secesh in our Monroe County compell me to address you and ask for aid and instructions. On yesterday I returned from St. Louis, thinking that General Curtis - to whom I stated all the facts - had the power to send a necessary force to our protection, but he informed me: that Illinois did not belong to his Department. General Strong advised me to write to you, therefore I will give you a brief statement of what has lately happened here. As to my character & standing I refer you to Hon. Lyman Trumbull, O. M. Hatch, Secretary of State, W. I. Conkling, Dr. A. Trapp & Harman Reynolds Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Illinois; I was introduced to you by Gov. Koerner, but of course you cannot recollect every man; I am a German by birth, 29 years in this Country and fought at the battle of San Jacinto, under Sam Houston, at Buena Vista under our late Gov Bessell (of the ([24th?] Ills.) and served as a Captain in the 2nd Mo. Res. Corps in Missouri, Tennessee & Mississippi and am now U. S. Assist. Assessor in the 12th (John Scheell) Assess.District. This I hope will be sufficient, Dear Governor, to introduce myself to you as a good Union man & a Gentleman! <hr /> The enemies of our Country, Copperheads & Secesh, the other day held a meeting in the village of Marysville in the lower part of our County, to resist the enforcement of the Conscription law and to protect deserters; they harbor and keep intercourse with Secesh who cross over from Missouri, insult Union men who they call d- Abolisionists, hold balls and have there the tables decorated with Secesh flaggs, undertake to press money from Union men, giving therefore Confed. money and a Certificate that when Illinois is envaded they shall not be molested & robbed;they sing here in Waterloo, which happened on two days last week, Dixie Songs and hurrah for Jeff. Davis. A Union refugee from Missouri was last week shot dead near Marysville, in the American bottom. They will organize a military company, require arms & amunitions from You, to be able "to subdue the d- Abolition Lincolnites! It is indeed dangerous for Union men & especially Republicans to go on business into the lower part of our County! What fate may await me when going there to assess in May - God knows! What can You do for us, dear Governor? Could You not make a requisition from Genl. Curtis for one or two companies soldiers to be stationed either in Marysville, 6 m. from the Mississippi river, or at Lilly's landing, nearly opposite Sulphur Spring where several hundred men are encamped! If this is done confidence will be <hr /> restored and I am sure our ennemies will be still and kept harmless; if not - an outbreak will come! I don't see how it can be avoided. The principal leaders are James H. Lilly - owner of Lillys landing, John H. Liddell, an acting Justice of the Peace, Dr. Lewis James, Sebatian Berger, Theobald Edinger and Dr. A. L Carabine, all living in the neighborhood of Maryvsville. The American bottom is the most dangerous place we fear; here in Waterloo and vicinity we can take care of ourselves and protect us, as our Union League numbers about 100 and are ready at any minutes warning Here, dear Governor, I have given you a true statement of facts and I hope you will act accordingly and show to us the same energy and kindness as you have towards our boys in the field. Please dont mention my name. I am Sir Most Respectfullly Your obedt servt C. H. Kettler. To Hon. Richard Yates Governor of the State of Illinois Springfield, Ills. <hr /> C H Kettler Waterloo Ills March 29 63 Says the acts and demonstrations of the copperheads in Monroe County compells him to address the Governor.
