President Andrew Johnson Writes Secretary of War Stanton, Asking Him to Revoke a Post War Order

Letter Signed as President, 1 page 4to, Washington, Sept. 7, 1865 to Secretary of War Stanton. “You will please issue an order revoking so much of Special Orders No. 410 July 31, 1865 as relates to mustering out of the service of the United States Brevet Major and Captain William R. Tracy.” Very good condition, on Executive Mansion letterhead.

This was probably William Rogers Tracy (1839-1868) of Painesville, Ohio who was promoted Captain in 1864 and died with the rank of Major.
