Dated “Headquarters Department of the Gulf / New-Orleans, Sept. 9th, 1862. One page in ink, 5” x 8, plus three “State of Louisiana” bond coupons. Exhibits fold-marks, else VG. Text:

“The Louisiana State Bank will pay to the Cashier of the Union Bank on his order, the three coupons for $90 ($30 each) received from Mst. M Morgan & Sons of N. York. / By order of Maj. Gen. Butler / Commdg. / A. F. Puffer / Lt. & A.D.C.”
