Dated “14 Nov 1864.” Submitted and signed by Lieut. John McNulty  for supplies for the 2nd Maryland Horse Artillery.  Approved and Signed by Major General Lunsford Lomax  (“L.L. Lomax / Maj Genl”). Pre-printed, 2pp., 10” x  8. Exhibits fold-marks & yellowing, while remaining entirely legible.

Requisition calls for one tent fly & poles—3 skillets and sides—135 pounds of horseshoes—8 pounds of horse shoe nails in one box.

Major General Lomax was a West Point friend of Fitz Hugh Lee’s who had served under him during the 1864 Overland Campaign, and was afterward given command of the Valley District, where he supervised intelligence gathering movements by Mosby’s Rangers.

Lieut. john McNulty was a Confederate hero, who with a single strategic shot of his 2nd Maryland Artillery command (Baltimore Light Artillery)  at the Battle of Old Town, while perilously close to Union forces, saved Brig. Gen. John McCauseland’s element of the Army of Northern Virginia from entrapment behind Union lines on their return route from raids into Maryland and Pennsylvania following their sacking and burning of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania in retaliation for the Union army earlier burning of the Virginia Military Institute.

Superb Confederate Cavalry collectible. In protective sleeve.  [jp] [ph:L]
