Field Printed Circular, "Head Quarters, Cavalry Corps, December 31st, 1864," 2pp., octavo, addressed to "My brave Soldiers," reading in small part: "The close of the year terminates a campaign of eight months, during which you have engaged in continuous and successful fighting. From Dalton to Atlanta you have held the right of our army. Opposed almost continuously by a force of infantry ten times your number, you repulsed every assault, inflicting upon the enemy a loss in killed and wounded greater than your entire strength…I desire, my brave soldiers, to thank you for your gallantry, devotion and good conduct…". Very rare, Parrish & Willingham 996. Light browning, very good or better.
