Dated “Headquarters Department of the Gulf / New-Orleans, Sept. 9^th, 1862. One page in ink, 5” x 8, plus three “State of Louisiana” bond coupons. Exhibits fold-marks, else VG. Text:

“The Louisiana State Bank will pay to the Cashier of the Union Bank on his order, the three coupons for $90 ($30 each) received from Mst. M Morgan & Sons of N. York. / By order of Maj. Gen. Butler / Commdg. / A. F. Puffer / Lt. & 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 shadiest in his wartime financial dealing. In protective sleeve. [jp][ph:L]
