A most unusual and first we have seen Confederate document denying exemption of Mexican War service to David Green of Richmond County, NC, 1p. oblong 4to., "Executive Department, North Carolina, Adjutant General's Office, Raleigh, NC, March 2, 1863 written by the adjutant general of the state to Lt. Sanders M. Ingram [38th NC], in full: "Service rendered in the Mexican War does not exempt David A. Green from service in this war. The muster rolls of Col. [Jarvis' Mexican War] Regt. are not in this office, else I would sent you the certificate with pleasure." Perhaps, Green received a slight reprieve for his service, since he does not serve until 1864 when he was mustered into the 33rd North Carolina. Negligible holes, else VG.
