    General E.D. Townsend was principal executive officer of the War Department during the Civil War and was in close contact with President Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. He was chosen to represent the Army at the various funerals for Lincoln after the President’s assassination .
    This original War Department Special Order # 113 , dated approximately a month before Lincoln’s assassination is very rare and hard to find in this excellent condition.. Great for display and framing.
