Jay Cooke & Co. Bankers bank check, 8.25 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Grant, “U. S. Grant,” payable to Gen. O. O. Howard for $2000, March 7, 1868. Endorsed by Howard on the reverse, “O. O. Howard, Maj. Gen.,” and countersigned by two bank cashiers. Two-cent revenue stamp affixed to the upper right. In fine condition, with one faint vertical fold passing through first letter of the signature, expected cancellation cuts (repaired with archival tape to reverse), and slight brushing to the payee and signature. At the time, Howard was serving as commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, while Grant was commanding general of the Army. A scarce and highly desirable check, with a fantastic association between Union generals.
