War-date printed circular of Confederate General Orders No. 37, 6pp. 8vo., Richmond, Apr. 6, 1863 concerning, in small part: "…whenever the exigencies of any army in the field are such as to make impressments of forage…or other property necessary…that the officer…shall…pay to the owner, his agent or attorney…compensation…". A complete government guide published by the order of Adjutant and Inspector General Samuel Cooper, showing the extremes the Confederacy was forced to endure because of the North's blockade. Minor spotting, else very good.
