Pre-printed form filled out in ink by Weeks’ daughter Hattie Fairey [?].  She indicates that her father enlisted in the spring of 1861 as a Private in Company D of the 4^th South Carolina Cavalry of Butler’s Division, Hampton’s Corps. He was at the time a resident of Tiverton Lawn Plantation [purchased by the Weeks family in 1861, the plantation house burned during the war.  The property was owned by members of the family as late as the 1970s]. He was honorably discharged with the surrender of Gen. J.E. Johnston’s army on April 26, 1865.

Signed by Hattie, along with two of Weeks’ fellow cavalrymen one of whom is named William Henderson. The other’s last name is fairly illegible due to the elderly gentleman’s shaky handwriting; a match in Company D’s roster could not be found – further research certainly a possibility.

Document measures 8 ½” by 11”; fold lines, some age staining, other wise in fine condition.  [ld] [ph:L]
