A heavy (2-1/2 lb.), 9-1/4 inch octavo in dull green cloth with gilt titles, complete with B&W frontispiece portrait of Stuart and the seven original folding maps (the Fredericksburg map in a wonderful three colors) including three in the rear pocket where we find the equally impressive two-color maps of Richmond and of Brandy Station -- though the B&W map of the route of Stuart's Cavalry Division from Oct. 9, 1862 to July 2, 1863 has separated into two halves along the central fold line.)

Also located on the lower left corner of the document is written "Maj Genl Wheeler ? a' g Wheeler's Cav Corps." On the verso is a handwritten summary of the order. The paper has dried water stains. The ink is light in spots. This handwritten General Order was reprinted in the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion (War of the Rebellion Records Series I. Vol. XXIII Part II Correspondence, Etc. Chapter XXXV pages 858, 859). The signature at the bottom of the document is not legible but it is not in the hand of General Wheeler. The document reads: The enemy has seen fit to expel from his lines and send to our midst not only those supposed to be guilty of crimes but non-combatants found in their homes in the peaceful pursuits of life. In the perpetration of these outrages on humanity, and these violations of civilized warfare, he has prostituted the flag of truce to the base purpose of protecting the guards who drive forth these exiles. Hereafter that flag will not protect those guards, but they will be seized and sent forward to be treated as spies or prisoners of war as the circumstances in each case may require. By Command of General Bragg.
