(WASHING THE CLOTHES OF THE REBEL DEAD)
War-date printed circular of Confederate General Orders No. 93, 1p. 8vo., Richmond, June 30, 1863 concerning, in part: "…appraisement of deceased soldiers' clothing shall be made after it has been washed and put in condition by the quartermaster…". An interesting act because of the lack of the most common of supplies in the Confederacy. Minor spotting, else very good.
