Amnesty oath headed at the top: “Amnesty Oath, under Proclamation of the President of the United States, dated May 29, 1865.” In full, “State of Arkansas. Columbia County. I John Thompson of Columbia County, State of Arkansas, do solemnly swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Union of States thereunder: and that I will in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves—so help me God.” Signed at the conclusion by Thompson and countersigned by Columbus County Clerk W. B. McNeill. In very good condition, with central horizontal fold, two ink spots over Thompson’s signature and scattered toning and soiling.
