Rhonda,
I haven't secured a copy of your article yet, however, I would still be interested in the information that you have compiled about the 5th Illinois Cavalry. If you could, please send me a list of your writings or pdf versions to:
erik@elfjunction.com. I would like to be able to get copies to my father as well since the letters are currently in his possession in the Midwest.
Have a great day,
Erik
