Pay order issued inside the "Choctaw Nation"

ADS signed “Andrew Jackson, Major Genl Comd'g, D. of the South,” one page, 7.75 x 10, Choctaw Nation, June 14, 1815. Jackson lengthily endorses the reverse of a manuscript pay order, in part: "The Assist. D. Q. master General Capt. William B. Lewis will pay the within Draft of Eighty four dollars fifty two cents." Jackson also writes upside down at the top, "Received 11th July, 1816 of…agent of the Department of War, eighty four dollars and fifty two & a half cents." In very good condition, with small splits along intersecting folds, scattered staining (not affecting Jackson's signature), and three old pieces of tape along one edge.
