Manuscript DS, signed "T. J. Jackson, 1st Lt. 1st Arty, AAQM," one page, 7.75 x 9.75, May 20, 1848. Jackson, stationed in Mexico City, confirms receipt of "the following quarter master's Property: 4 Four King Bolts, 4 Four Wagon Tongues, 1 One Curry Comb, 1 One Horse Brush." In fine condition, with paper loss to left edge and top right corner affecting nothing. Interestingly, it was during this time in Mexico that Jackson first met Robert E. Lee. Boasting a supremely crisp signature as well as desirable equine content-the comb and brush being specialized horse grooming implements-this is an especially appealing piece.
