Richard Yates Governor of Illinois Dear Sir I take the liberty to write you concerning my Dear Brother Silas A. Simonton, of the 42nd Ill Vol, But who is now a paroled Prisoner at Annapolis MD. I have two brothers in the Army, who have fought bravely and faithfully for more than a year and half, and at the Battle of Murfreesboro this one (of whom I speak) was wounded and taken prisoner was in the hands of the Rebels a month and then paroled and sent to Annapolis MD. He has never since his enlistment expressed any willingness to come come but his whole heart and soul have been in the work of fighting for his country. And in all his writings, he <hr /> has frequently expressed a determination to fight, if need be seven years as our Forefathers fought. But since he has been a Paroled Prisoner He has an earnest desire to come Home - for a while at least - that he may get recruited up and get the rest and strength he so much needs and also to see his Aged Father & Mother and myself his sister who am an Invalid and almost helpless and whom he has not seen for most 6 years We know not what better to do than to appeal to you, knowing that you have the power to grant him a furlough or permit to come home (as you have done so by others) untill exchanged or ordered to return again to his Reg't. He is suffering from his wound, is getting disheartened, has no money not having received any pay for <hr /> 6 months, and we think it right and just under the circumstances for him to come home for a few weeks, that he may regain the strength needed for him to rejoin his Regt and to engage anew in the Glorious work for which he is willing to give his life. Now will you not Dear Sir do something for him? A soldier needs care, sympathy, and tender nursing, and and where, O where I ask can he get it so well as among his friends and in the bosom of his home? Please Dear Sir let us know immediately what can be done for him, and if you think best you can send a furlough right to him. Silas A. Simonton 42nd Regt Ill Vol, Camp Parole 12th Company 4th Battalion Annapolis MD <hr /> Or to myself his sister and you will greatly oblige Respectfully yours Mrs. F. M. Berry Cambridge, Ill Please write me without delay as I feel very anxious about him. <hr /> Mrs. F. M. Berry Cambridge March 16 1863 Has a brother Simon A Simonton in the 42nd Regt now a paroled prisoner at Annapolis MD wishes a furlough for him.

Title A name given to the resource Monticello College Collection Subject The topic of the resource Women's colleges Universities and colleges Monticello College Monticello Female Seminary Haskell, Harriet, 1835-1907 Illinois--Godfrey Godfrey, Benjamin, 1794-1862 Description An account of the resource Monticello College first began as the Monticello Female Seminary in 1838. Founded by Captain Benjamin Godfrey to provide education for women, the school offered two years of classes for attendees based on the idea that “if you educate a man you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.” Godfrey selected Reverend Theron Baldwin to serve as the first head of the Monticello Female Seminary. In 1867 Harriet Haskell became principal, a position she held until her death in 1907.  On November 4, 1888, a fire broke out in the building and consumed the entire structure. Ms. Haskell and the school's Board of Trustees successfully fundraised for a new building and rebuilt the school in two years. The school's leadership made the decision to close the school in 1970 with the final class graduating in 1971. Lewis and Clark Community College completed the purchase of the Monticello College campus in 1972.

Robin's Nest, Peoria Co. Ill Aug 20th 1864 Hon. Ed. M. Stanton Sec. of War. Sir: In June 1862 my son Horace Capron Jr. then sergeant of Co. G. 8th Ill Cav. was awarded a "gold medal of honor" for "personal gallantry on the field of battle" and for great bravery at Chickahominy and Ashland Approved by Major Gen. McClellan and Brig. Gen Pleasonton and "copy furnished the Gov of this state for his information by order of the Sec. of War" approved by Gov. Yates Oct 1862, and a copy forwarded to his Father Col. <hr /> Horace Capron, comdg 14th Ill. Cav. Since then Horace has been promoted to be 1st Lieut. Co. A. 14th Ill. Cav which he commanded at the time he was mortally wounded while leading on his men to a victory which he he won. He sleeps enshrouded in the flag he loved to defend. That medal, Sir, is very dear to me. I would possess it. I have sought for it vainly. Will you not aid me? I have given all I have for my country. I am alone. My Husband Col. Horace Capron comdg. a brigade under Gen. Stoneman, and our youngest boy, have miraculously escaped death while attempting to release our suffering officers and men from Macon <hr /> prison. The other son Lieut. Albert B. Capron is, I fear, a prisoner. Permit me while addressing you to implore that our prisoners may be exchanged as soon as possible. I am told those at Macon are almost maniacs from their sufferings. While the rebels are constantly allowed to receive nice things at Camp Douglas. Excuse me, for trespassing this long on your very valuable time. I have sacrificed all on the altar of country, and feel deeply. Pray excuse me. Very respectfully, Mrs. Col. H.

Yates: Your Excellency will pardon me for intruding upon your notice at a time when so many pressing calls occupy your attention in every direction, and believe me, nothing but the belief that your sanction and recommendation would be of incalculable service would have led me to address you at this time. But your expressed interest in the cause of general emancipation has led me to hope that you would look with favor upon the measures proposed. The Women's Loyal National League whose center is in N. York City have <hr /> decided upon canvassing the Northern States and obtaining signatures to petitions asking for general emancipation as a means of national safety and universal human interest They wish me to canvass this State and if practicable to do something in Kentucky and Missouri. As they have no funds donated and must look to contributions to carry the work forward it will greatly add to the labor; and I thought it wise to avail myself of every possible facility in carrying it forward. It occurred to me that a word from you approving the measure would aid me greatly with the Loyal Union Leagues throughout the state. I think you heard me advocate the cause of the widows last winter when the senate so disgraced <hr /> the manhood of Illinois by turning their petitions into ridicule and can judge whether I could do well in advocating the cause of human rights. With Sentiments of the highest consideration I remain truly yours Mrs. H. M. Tracy Cutler His Excellency Richard Yates <hr /> File C. Cutler, Mrs. H. M. Tracy. Dwight - Livingston Co. Sept 11th Has been requested to act as agent in Ill. for circulating among the members of the Ladies Loyal League a petition for the general emancipation of the Niggers. Wishes you would write a line of commendation for her. Thinks your X. remembers her in the Legislature some tome ago advocating "Womans Rights.

By enlisting he lost nearly three hundred dollars by being obliged to sell stock &c at reduced prices, which also reduced my means of support to a very limited allowance. but he my husband was faithfully promised that his family should be cared for by those in authority. I wished to come to Ohio to live among my friends during my husband's absence and was told that would not make the least difference. Well to cut the matter short I have never received one cent. I made <hr /> application but it did no good my husband has no been in hard service ever since he entered but the Army and is now wounded lying in the hospital at New Albany Ind where I would go to him if I had the means but I am in hopes he will be furloughed I pray God he may. Now my dear sir I would never have written this to you if I were a healthy woman and able to support myself and family I have to children now. I lost a little boy about a month ago. I am sick a great deal tis true I get my husband's wages but I ask you if you could support a family of 4 on thirteen dollars a month. I could get along well enough were it not for sickness. I have not meant to tell you a pitiful tale to excite your pity but I have merely stated the plain truth and ask you that justice may be done me. I have five brothers in the army beside <hr /> numberless other relatives and no one of us have ever made application for relief but me and I have never received any I do not think I shall starve if I do not get anything for I have planted a patch of potatoes and sugar cane and if I am able to take care of them I shall have that much at any rate and I am also reviewing my studies intending to teach again if my health will allow me.
