R.E. Runkle, West Liberty, Logan County, Ohio. To Governor David Tod. Letter stating that some weeks before, he received a letter from his son, Major B[enjamin] P. Runkle, saying Tod had revoked his commission and given it to another, that at the same time, his son was ordered to join his regiment, that since then, he had heard nothing from his son, that the information that his old friend, Governor David Tod, had disgraced his son so paralyzed him that he could not write at an earlier date, that his son was a graduate of Miami University, that his son was a lawyer by profession, practicing at Urbana, that when President Abraham Lincoln issued his proclamation, his son immediately left his profession and family and in 4 days was at the head of 100 men ready for orders, that after spending a few weeks in camp, his son reorganized for 3 years and went in the service with the best drilled company in western Virginia at that time, that his son went through the whole campaign up to the time of the Battle of Carnifex Ferry as Captain, having often been detailed to lead in hazardous expeditions because he could be depended on, that while sick with the fever and lying in a "secesh" hut 30 miles from his regiment, his son was elected Major by an almost unanimous vote of the regiment at a time when no other way of promotion was known to the volunteer service, that he could truly say that never was promotion harder earned, that as Major, his son led the advance over Cotton Mountain when [John B.] Floyd made his last run from western Virginia, that his son had served four months as Major when Tod revoked his commission, and that this was a hard blow on a faithful, ambitious officer who had labored to be worthy as well as competent for further promotion; asking if his son was out of the service; and stating that his son's old place as Captain was filled and he must truly be in a bad fix if not promoted to some other position, and that he felt confident Tod would see that justice was done his son at least by such promotion as would be honorable to secure the services of a faithful and patriotic officer.

John S. Mathews, Painesville, Lake County, Ohio. To Governor David Tod. Letter regarding an account for subsisting recruits; and stating that the account was returned not paid, that he was informed the account was in proper shape, that the cause why it was not paid was that a portion of it was for subsisting the recruits while at home, that Adjutant General C.P. Buckingham wrote that the account would be paid if presented in proper shape, that as he was told the account was in proper shape, he concluded no further trouble would be made, that if the account was going to be paid to the men's families, it ought to be done at once because some of them were suffering for the money, that it was just and right that the men received the 30 cents per day, that he again requested a copy of the cause why he was dismissed or the copy sent to the War Department at Washington which caused his discharge, that he wanted it to vindicate himself, that the men recruited by him received assurances when he enlisted them that he was going with the regiment [6th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Cavalry], that his motives were impugned, that commissioned officers in said regiment had represented that he sold the men, or at least so he was told by area residents, that if the Government disregarded its contracts, it ought to give a cause for doing so, especially if the reputation of one of its citizens was injured by no fault of himself, that he almost believed every man was entitled to know why he was discharged, and that if the service would suffer by not imparting the reason of his discharge so that he could vindicate himself, it was his great misfortune.

Mess No. 10, Camp Chase Prison, Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio. To the Commandant of Camp Chase Prison. Letter stating that the non-commissioned officer or Private (as his uniform would indicate) sent to call the roll that morning left Mess No. 10 without performing said duty, that from his manner, they did not doubt he would make a report excusing himself and accusing them of unwillingness to comply with the prison regulations, that they wished their action in the matter distinctly understood, that the non-commissioned officer or Private came into their room and began by calling their names, that they repeatedly asked him to call them by their titles (ranks), that he said he did not care for their ranks and asked if they would not answer unless called by them, that they supposed it was intended by the officers in charge that they should be treated with the courtesy usually extended prisoners of war and therefore responded that until otherwise advised, they would not answer except by their titles, that the non-commissioned officer or Private left without calling further, that every name called was answered to with the noted request politely made, that if it was intended that they should answer to their names called by a non-commissioned officer or Private without their titles and without even the prefix of Mr., they would, in their present condition, prefer submitting to what they considered an unreasonable discourtesy rather than engaging in a contest in which, as prisoners, they were powerless, and that this might seem like a small matter, but it was well known that a willful discourtesy was more galling than any reasonable restraint incident to the condition of prisoners; requesting that the commandant communicate to them the decision of the proper authority in this matter before the next roll call; and stating that the punishment affixed to failure to answer to roll call as set forth in the prison rules was the withdrawing of rations, and that if the authorities would be satisfied, they would gladly give up all right to rations to be excused from such roll calls.
