Two documents: manuscript document, one page, 6 x 4, dated November 22, 1839. A discharge of Sikes from the Mounted Gunmen reads, in part: “This day personally appeared before me John Chalmers…Henry Sikes and made oath that he is not indebted to the government of said Republic and that he has not retained any horse, arms, or munitions of war.” Signed at the conclusion by Sikes and also by Chalmers. Written on the reverse of the document is a manuscript document, (with most of the writing very light), signed by Neill which reads, in part: “To all whom it may concern know that Henry Sikes substitute for for G. L. Holly the 14th day of September 1839 to serve for the period of two months is hereby honorably discharged from the service of the Republic”; and a manuscript DS, one page, 6 x 3, dated November 22, 1839. A transfer of Sikes’s discharge reads, in part: “For value received I transfer my discharge from the 1st Regt. of mounted Gunmen Company E. and signed by W.V.R. Hallum, Capt. and countersigned by H. Neill Col. Comd. 1st Regt., to David Cobb.” Intersecting folds to both documents, scattered toning and soiling, a few small separations, aforementioned light, but mostly legible writing on one side, and scattered creases and wrinkling, otherwise very good condition. The Robert Davis Collection.
