War-date manuscript document signed "A. B. Lawrence Lt. Col & Chief QM US Forces," 2 ½ pp., 4to, Appomattox Court House, Virginia, April 10, 1865. Lawrence was charged with collecting Confederate property after the surrender and this copy of the terms was to guide the execution of his duty. It reads, in part: "…The troops (Confederate) shall march by Brigades and detachments to a designated point, stack their arms, deposit their flags, sabers, pistols &c and from there march to their homes under charge of their officers, superintended by their respective Division & Corps Commanders, officers retaining their side arms & the authorized number of private horses…" A rare document that actually made history. Fine condition.
