Item description from seller

(James A. Seddon, Secretary of War and S. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector General.) COMMUNICATION OF SECRETARY OF WAR. War Department, C. S. A., Richmond, Dec. 3, 1864. 4pp. House of Representatives, Dec. 7, 1864. - Laid on the table and ordered to be printed. [By the Chair.] [Transmitted with] MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT. Dec. 6, 1864. Single leaf, 2p., bears the oval "Rebel Archives" stamp (so faint as to be illegible); flattened creasings across lower half, rather toned and fragile with minute slender chips at bottom corner, a good copy. Parrish & Willingham 2294. Relates to the appointments under an act approved June 14, 1864, providing for establishment and payment of claims for a certain description of property taken or informally impressed for the use of the army. The requested list (personal names, state districts of those who have accepted appointments) runs a rather sparse page and a half; Seddon observes that "from the inadequacy of the compensation allowed, great difficulty has been experienced in obtaining suitable agents, and many of those to whom appointments were tendered have declined." Very short rolls covering Texas (2), South and North Carolina (2, 4), Tennessee (1), and slightly longer lists for four other states. Please email with questions or to request photos. This Confederate Imprint is one of more than 100 recently acquired, most with 'Rebel Archives' stamp on the cover, indicating that these were the actual copies seized by the Union Army at the end of the Civil War. A remarkable collection.

We trust them & we hope you will too. If you need tracking, please consider PRIORITY SHIPPING. We ship orders valued at more than $50 in a box, at no additional charge. Priority mailing is for a Flat-Rate envelope, with tracking included. If the book does not fit into a flat rate envelope, we will likely need to request extra shipping costs from you, in order to put it in a box. We only charge the actual amount of shipping, so we hope you'll understand that it's just a matter of getting the book to you without taking a loss on it -- shipping is a service we happily offer without a 'handling' charge.... but we can't afford to charge you less than the cost of the stamps!
