President Lincoln appoints George Emery as "Additional Paymaster of Volunteers in the service of the United States." Signed at the conclusion in ink by President Abraham Lincoln, and countersigned by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. The blue War Department seal affixed at the upper left remains intact.
