Richard Yates Governor of Illinois Dear Sir The following statement in regard to the original muster-into-Service of the 50th Ills. Inft.y are respectfully submitted, and your influence to have the matter properly adjusted is earnestly solicited. On the 12th of September 1861 seven companies of the regiment were mustered into service by Capt. Pitcher U.S.A. Of these companies A. B. and D had the minimum number of men. Companies C. E. & F very near the minimum and Company G. twenty one men. The muster-in-Rolls of the foregoing companies, were sent to Capt. Pitcher at Springfield, for his signature, but nothing has ever been heard in regard to them since, and as they were never received at the War Department, there exists no official knowledge at that office of the organization of the regiment. On the 29th of Sept. 1861 the regiment was ordered to Hannibal Mo. and from there to Chillicothe Mo. where we were paid by Maj. Bundy. At the time Maj. Bundy paid the regiment companies I and K were not full, but were on duty with the regiment. Companies H. I &. K. <hr /> and all men enlisted after the 12th of September 1861 and previous to July 1862, were sworn in by myself, there being no opportunity to have them mustered into Service by a U.S. officer. On or about the 15th of Nov. 1861 all the Field and Staff except the Major Surgeon and Asst. Surgeon (who were absent and have never been mustered) were mustered into Service by Brig. Genl. Todd, but the rolls have never been received at the Adjutant Generals office. Several communications have been sent to the War Department stating these facts, but no action whatever has been taken in the matter. I know of no way of rectifying these errors, except by an order from the War Department, to muster the regiment and date it back to the time of entering the service; or, by a Special Act of Congress. Hoping the above may elicit your attention and that you will devise some means to have the regiment relieved of the difficulties which exist in regard to is organization I have the honor to be Very Respectfully Your Obedient Servant MMBarr Colonel 50th Ills. Vol. Infty. <hr /> Barr M.M Col. 50” Ills. Inf Quincy Feb 3d 64 I regard to delay & neglect in Payment of his Regt.

Vandalia, Illinois Aug 15, 64 To the Hon. Richard Yates Governor of the State of Illinois Dear Sir -- We received 168 guns and accoutrements on Friday the 12th from Lieut. Col Nale of the 41st Illinois, with which two organized companies have been armed. Two other good, efficient well organized companies, styled the "Sharon Guards" Capt. Russell and the "Otego Guards, Capt. Martin desire arms furnished them for Home protection. With the arms they already have of their own, 70 would probably do for both companies. This is probably the most scourged county in the state by Guerillas robbers & bushwhackers, and there is scarcely a day that we dont hear of men being robbed or shot. On yesterday morning a Union man was shot from the brush while going to his barn to feed his horses. The company above named styled the "Sharon Guards" reside near the Hurricane Creek where Clingmans men live and rendezvous and are in imminent danger <hr /> nightly of being robbed, and in their vicinity two houses have been burned In view of the reign of terror in this section we deem it a matter of justice to arm the before mentioned companies and if our request can be filled please inform us when and how to proceed to obtain the arms required It may be proper to state in this connection that union men both in this town and country are standing guard nightly. Very Respectfully Yours. N. M. McCurdy M.D. W. Remam R Blackwell McCurdy et al Vandalia Ill Aug 15 64 Has received arms. Two other companies are organized and want 70 stand of arms. Good Companies.
