Uncommon manuscript DS, signed “Z. Taylor Col., U.S. Army Comd.,” one page, 8 x 13, September 30, 1835. Document regarding the postage account for public letters and documents sent from Wisconsin’s Fort Crawford for the quarter ending September 30, 1835. Taylor attests to the accounting at the top of the document, written in another hand, “that the postage accrued on letters on public service and that I actually paid the sum above charged.” In fine, clean condition, with slight edge separations along three horizontal folds, a small pencil notation to top, and some slight mirroring of ink. A much more uncommon document from Taylor’s time at Fort Crawford than usually seen. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
