 Fine war-date signature and rank "J. E. B. Stuart Brig Genl" as "Inspector and Mustering Officer" penned in black ink on a 3" x 1 3/4" section of brown Confederate "adversity" paper.  The verso bears some lines of recruiting instructions and is headed: Confederate States of America December 1861".  A larger than usual signature, undoubtedly war-date, in very good condition.   

Like so many of his Confederate colleagues "Jeb" Stuart was a West Point graduate. During the 1850s he served in the U.S. Army in Texas and Kansas,  the time period when he signed this document. Stuart served as Lee's aide-de-camp in 1859 at Harper's Ferry. He entered Confederate service as a Colonel of the 1st Virginia Cavalry. He fought at  the 1st Manassas, 2nd Manassas, Peninsula Campaign, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg and many other notable battles. He was killed at Yellow Tavern on May 12, 1864.
