Official multi-page Civil War furlough application and medical certificate issued to a Union soldier wounded at Port Hudson during the Vicksburg Campaign, documenting a 60-day sick leave and signed by medical and command officers. The combination of battlefield injury attribution, formal military paperwork, and multiple signatures elevates it beyond typical correspondence into a desirable documentary piece.

Condition

Good, with fold lines, scattered toning, and light staining consistent with age; handwriting and printed text remain clear.
