This interesting General Orders document is numbered 113 and outlines directives for volunteers prior to conscription.
The order reads:
“ADJUTANT AND INSPECTOR GENERAL’S OFFICE
Richmond, August 18, 1863.
GENERAL ORDERS,
No. 113
- Officers receiving volunteers from those liable to conscription, will in no case grant furloughs for more than ten days to such volunteers, before entering on active service.
- Every man liable to conscription, volunteering before enrollment, will report himself, and the company in which he volunteers, and like-wise be reported by his captain to the commandant of conscripts for the State, within ten days after his act of volunteering – otherwise he will be held subject to enrollment and assignment.
By order.
S. COOPER
Adjutant and Inspector General.
The document itself is in good condition with two small slits/holes from having been bound at one time. Some light staining is present along the right side that continues onto the reverse side and there is wear to both right corners – none of which detracts from the rarity of the piece or its subject matter. The measurements are 8” x 5.15”.
A rare remnant of the Confederacy’s draft/conscription program that would be a unique feature of most any collection. [cm][ph:L]
