Rare war-date manuscript D.S. 1p. 19" x 7", [Richmond], July 13, 1864 in which Benjamin approves the account of "Charles J. Helm, Commercial Agent at Havana, for Salary for Quarter ending 31 Dec 1863..." totaling $1,288.70 with $163.70 due to the Confederate States. Usual folds, otherwise fine condition. $2,000-3,000
