There is a notation concerning men serving with General Daniel Morgan, as well as a listing of an officer who had died as a result of his wounds. The report has some edge wear along with some minor old hinge stains; the text, however, remains very clear and legible. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;800 - 1,200. <BR><BR>Our item number 140906<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/49jpegs/140906.jpg"> </P></I MAGES>
