War-dated partly-printed vellum DS as president, one page, 13.75 x 17.5, July 30, 1862. Lincoln appoints Isaac K. Casey an “Additional Aide de Camp with the rank of Captain.” Signed at the conclusion in ink, “Abraham Lincoln,” and countersigned by Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton. In very good to fine condition, with a few small holes along intersecting folds, a horizontal fold through Lincoln’s signature, some light wrinkling and creasing, and handwritten portions of the document light, but mostly legible. The distinctive blue seal remains crisp and intact.
Captain Casey was assigned to serve under 78-year-old Major General John E. Wool, who held the distinction of being the oldest general in the Civil War—Union or Confederate. Casey spent more than four years in service, participating in the Second Battle of Bull Run as well as the battles of South Mountain, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. He eventually rose to the rank of colonel before leaving the army in 1866. Casey’s 1867 funeral address was delivered by the Rev. P.D. Gurley—the same minister who delivered Lincoln’s funeral oration in the White House two years earlier.
