Description

Civil War-dated partly-printed document, one page, 7.5 x 9.5, August 18, 1864. A medical certificate from the Hospital Examining Board in Columbia, Mississippi, granting a furlough to H. G. Coburn of “Company I, 15th Tenn. Cavalry Regiment, 1st Tenn. Brigade, Miss. Army,” after finding him “unfit for Military duty, in consequence of Typhoid Fever from the effects of which he has suffered for several months.” The board determines that “he will not be fit for duty in a less period than Sixty Days” and allows him to go to “Okolona Miss, his place of residence.” Signed at the conclusion by three members of the examining board. In very good to fine condition, with scattered staining and soiling.
