Cummins as "Lieutenant Colonel in the Artillery Corps in the service of the United States." Neatly signed at the conclusion in ink by President Theodore Roosevelt, and countersigned by Secretary of War William H. Taft. The blue embossed War Office seal remains affixed to the lower left. Tightly rolled and in fine condition, with minor ink adhesion issues and one tiny edge tear.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
