About This Item
HENRY MOSES JUDAH (1821-1866). Judah was a Brigadier General in the Union Army during the American Civil War. DS. 2pgs. May 22 & 25, 1865. Chattanooga, Tennessee. A two-page military report signed “H.M. Judah” and written in another hand. The first page appoints a board of three officers to inspect a quartermaster’s store, while the second page details their findings in favor of the quartermaster in question. “[Dated May 22] Proceedings of a Board of Survey convened at Chattanooga Tennessee in obedience to the following order…Special Orders No 56 A Board of Survey composed of the following named Officers is appointed to meet at 9.30 A.M. on the 25th inst. at the office of Capt. S. P. Bradford aaqm to examine and report upon Forage for which he is responsible. Capt. C.H. Bryant 68th Ind. Vols, “ Wm Abdill 16th U.S.C. Inf. 2nd Lieut M Buzzell 16th U.S.C. Inf By Order of Brig. Genl. H. M. Judah…[dated May 25] The Board met pursuant to the above order. Present Capt. C. H. Bryant 68th Ind. Vos. Capt. Wm. J. Abdill 16th U.S.C. Inf and 2nd Lieut M. Buzzell 16th U.S.C. Inf The Board then proceeded to inquire into the condition of the following articles of Quartermaster stores for which Capt. S. P. Bradford A.A.Q.M. is responsible. Viz:- (72.00) Seven Thousand Two Hundred lbs. corn. It is the opinion of the Board after a careful examination of the above mentioned Quartermaster’s stores, which were found to be utterly spoiled, and totally unfit for use, caused by heating in bulk, that Capt. S. P. Bradford A.A.Q.M. is in no way responsible for said damage, and that he should not be held accountable for said Q.M. stores…”. Judah also signed “HM Judah Brig Gl” below one of the dockets on the verso. The date of May 1865 is significant, because the Civil War officially ended earlier that month. The two pages are adhered together at the top. It is in very good condition.
