Ill Oct 12/63 His Excellency Richard Yates Gov. of Illinois Sir There are many urging the establishment of a general hospital in the North West where our brothers & sons who have fought so bravely and nobly to sustain our goverment and country from destruction by traitors and enemies - where they can be properly and quickly cured of diseases incident to Southern Campaigns which it seems can not be cured in the army hospitals farther South. All will agree that the Government ought to Establish a hospital some where in the North West, and it is of great importance that a location should be selected containing the requisites, and there is no place all things considered more desirable than Fulton. Lumber and all building materials are cheaper than any other part of the State, and can be had in abundance. Provisions and marketing can be furnished a great deal cheaper than on the Lake Shore, with an abundance of pure water, and one of the most healthy and desirable locations in the State and among other important advantages this place possesses over some others, are that it is accessible by River and Rail Road Quite a number of soldiers have come home from the army discharged - reduced to a mere skeleton, with the camp <hr /> diarrhea and in two or three months restored to health I speak of these things from experience. My own son came home on a furlough in June very much reduced having had the camp diarrhea for four months, and the army surgeon told him he could not be cured south if at all, in six weeks we sent him back cured, and he has not been troubled with it since. Knowing you to be the soldiers friend, and a true patriot is my apology for intruding upon your time Very Respectfully your obt Srvt C W Aylsworth Ansd Oct 23 - 63 A - Aylsworth. C. W.
