<B>Robert E. Lee Document Signed</B></I> "<I>R E Lee</B></I>". One page with docketing, 10" x 15.5", San Antonio, Texas, October 4, 1860. Sometimes the military bureaucracy is simply amazing. This "<I>Equipment and Inspection Report</B></I>" listing a "<I>Book marked 'Past Morning Report'</B></I>" is paperwork accounting for paperwork. Given the signatures, several officers, including Lee, were giving attention to the whereabouts of a <I>blank</B></I> book! This, at a time when Comanches and Seccessionists were seriously threatening Federal authority in Texas! One of the endorsement panels on the verso carries Robert E Lee's distinctive signature as a Brevet Colonel. Some light browning on folds, else fine condition. Housed in a custom library case having titles stamped in gold on the cover and the spine. <BR><BR><B>Important
