Rare partly-printed DS, one page, 15.75 x 10.25, November 1, 1866. Official ‘Army of the United States of America’ military commission issued to Robert L. McGeorge, “a recruit of the United States Army,” which appoints him as a “Hospital Steward.” Signed at the conclusion by U. S. Grant as Commanding General of the U. S. Army, and countersigned by Edward D. Townsend as Assistant Adjutant General. In fine, folded condition. A rare and attractive postwar document that dates shortly after Congress promoted Grant to the newly created rank of General of the Army of the United States on July 25, 1866.
