Cushing, Adj’t Gen’l,” one page, 7.5 x 9.75, October 16, 1812. Letter to Colonel Simon Larned. In part: “The War Department has nothing to do with the appointment of Regimental Adjutants & Qt. Masters. The Rule is, for Colonels to appoint in the 1st instance & to solicit a confirmation in orders, by the Commanding General present.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered creases, light overall toning, a noticeable tear to the left border and a couple smaller edge tears, and show-through from writing to opposing sides.
