A rare gathering combination of three rare signatures. An officer in a New York state militia unit inquires about the location of certain troops. In all, seven different officers answer this query on the verso, respectfully forwarding it along until an answer is provided by Lt. Col. Tolles (the troops were under his command).

Tolles also died in action in 1865).
