Contact seller5-star sellerHandbill. 12mo. Near fine. A superb, bright General Order briefly noting that "Major General E.A. Hitchcock. is detailed as Commissioner for the Exchange of Prisoners of War" -- a position he held until the war's end. Signed at the conclusion in type by Assistant Adjutant General E.D. Townsend. Accompanied by a Civil War-era 6"…X 9" heavy stock steel-engraved head-and-shoulders portrait of Hitchcock in uniform. Very good. Mild age toning and bit of faint foxing.
