This lieutenant adjutant served with the Seventh New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry, which served from 1861 through 1865 and served with the Department of the South in Florida and South Carolina. Printed "Circular," 4pp, 5" X 8", Hilton Head, SC, 1863 January 26. Very good. Brigadier General Truman Seymour issued these three pages of detailed notes regarding how to keep proper muster rolls, since "The Muster Rolls of this Command [are] exhibiting numerous irregularities and errors." The first page of this 4-page lettersheet is the "cover letter," noting simply that "The within Circular is promulgated for the guidance of officers within the Department." This is issued "By Command of Maj. Gen. David Hunter," whose name appears in type at lower right, along with the name in type of his assistant adjutant general. At lower left Webber signs boldly in full in rich brown ink, penning below this his title, "Lt. Adjutant 7th regt. N.H. Vols." Unusual and interesting. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 37540

Known as the "Father of the House of Representatives" for his lengthy (13 terms) service, this Pennsylvania representative served from 1887 to 1913. Partly-printed ADS, 1p, 3½" X 8½", n.p. [Washington, DC], n.d. [1895 September 25 inkstamped]. Near fine. Partly-printed Bureau of Pensions form for Congressional use. Dalzell pens in Loveina M. Kunkle of Pittsburgh as the claimant for soldier Jacob L. Kunkle of Company "I," 11th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, and requests to be advised on "present status claim," signing boldly. A private named Jacob L. Kunkle (1843-63) is known to have enrolled at Kittanning, Pennsylvania in 1862 and died of "Congestion of the Brain" in Virginia in 1862; Loveina was obviously next of kin, though her relationship is unclear, and presumably petitioned her congressman to find out if she could receive any pension because of this relationship. It's not believed Jacob Kunkle was married, so perhaps she was a sister. Artikel-Nr. 31608
