2pp, partially printed on heavy paper, approx. 11.5 x 18 in. Pardon for A.M. Clarke, Loudoun County, Virginia "by taking part in the late rebellion against the Government of the United States, has made himself liable to heavy pains and penalties." Dated 19 Sept. 1865. Signed by President Andrew Johnson (1808-1875, Pres. 1865-1869) and Secretary of State, William Seward. A.M. Clarke is possibly Archibald Means Clarke, a resident of Loudoun County who enlisted in the 6th Virginia Cavalry in June 1861. He is listed as POW in June 1863 (captured at Beverly Ford), and Feb. 1864 (Leesburg, VA). He took the Oath of Allegiance in June 1865 at Fort Delaware. It is not clear what he did to merit Presidential pardoning. Many privates were given a blanket pardon. Condition: Old folds with some surface soil on verso of second page. U.S. seal intact.
