Manuscript DS, signed “Z. Taylor, Col. 1st Regt. U.S. Inf. Comdr.,” one page, 7.75 x 9.75, December, 1832. Request for stationery and writing supplies at Fort Crawford. In part: “Requisition for Stationery for the use of a Regimental Court Martial convened at Fort Crawford December 1832—2. Two quires writing paper, 18. Eighteen Quills, 24. Twenty four wafers—The Capt. Quarter Master, Lt. B. W. Stockton will issue agreeably to the above requisition,” signed by Taylor with his rank and title. Below, a 1st Infantry lieutenant confirms receipt of the order on December 8, 1832. In fine condition, with two horizontal folds, some show-through from docketing on reverse, light scattered toning, and slight mirroring to ink. Taylor frequently bemoaned the incompetence of the citizen militia units that he commanded in comparison to the superb discipline and unity of his Indian foes.
