[CONFEDERATE IMPRINT]. House Bill “to amend the law in relation to substitutes”.5 ¾ x 9 ¼”. 2 pages, both sides of a single sheet. “Whereas through frauds perpetrated on the government under the clause of the act approved April 16th, 1862, which granted the privilege that persons, not liable to military duty, might be received for those who were, our armies have been deprived of the services of men necessary for the public defense, therefore,…in all cases where substitutes received under the provisions…have or shall hereafter desert, the obligation of the principal shall revive upon…in all cases where a substitute has proved unfit for the discharge of ordinary duties of a soldier…the obligation of the principal shall revive upon…in all cases where a man, who is a substitute, would be liable to enrollment for military service under existing or future laws if her were not already in the army, the principal is hereby declared to be subject to such enrollment.” Very fine.
