A nice war-date manuscript Union artillery document, 1p. 4to., "Head Quarters Artillery Brigade, 2nd Army Corps, Aug. 30, 1864", being a circular instructing, in part: "Battery commanders on the line…to fire on the enemy's working parties, and reply to artillery fire on their lines…". At the time of this document was issued, the 2nd Corps was defending the Union lines directly opposite the Crater Explosion site. No doubt, this order was issued in response to the Confederates nightly efforts to counter mine a Union fort in retaliation for the July 30th explosion on their lines. Near fine.
