War-dated handwritten endorsement, “Apprd P. H. Sheridan, Maj Genl Comdg,” in the center of a one-page partly-printed document, 7.75 x 9.75, June 8, 1863. Sheridan authorizes the payment of $24.20 to Ellis Washington for services rendered as a teamster to an artillery company from March 18 to May 31, 1863. At the bottom of the sheet, Washington acknowledges receiving the money due him on June 8, 1863. In fine condition, with a uniform shade of toning and some slight show-through from docketing on reverse. Sheridan, best known for his Shenandoah Valley campaign during 1864, was responsible for cutting off Lee's retreat at Appomattox and forcing his surrender in 1865. In the spring of 1863 (when this document was signed), Sheridan had just won a promotion to major general for his actions at Murfreesboro, Tennessee (The Battle of Stones River) at the beginning of the year. In November 1863, Sheridan's assault on Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga would lead to his appointment as commander of the cavalry for the Army of the Potomac.
