Dated “Headquarters of the Gulf / New Orleans, Aug. 18, 1862.” One page in ink, 5” x 8. Exhibits fold-marks. Else VG plus. Text:

“The Louisiana State Bank will pay the coupons of the Union Bank will pay the coupons of the Union Bank in favor of Mst. Matthew Morgan & Sons of New York. By order of Maj. Gen. Butler / Cmmdg. / A.F. Puffer / Lieut & A.D.C.”

Although in many respects an able administrator, Benjamin Butler was the most notorious “political” general in Civil War history and easily the most dubious in his wartime financial dealings. In protective sleeve.  [jp][ph:L]
