Partly-printed D.S., 1p. oblong folio, [n.p.], Feb. 1, 1859, a pay requisition calculating Ruggles’ salary and that of a servant for the month of January. He signs his name in full at top right and again at bottom right, both in black ink, adding his contemporary rank in the U.S. Army. Shows expected folds, partly inlaid into a larger sheet, else very good.
