Custer, George Armstrong. Autograph Endorsement. "Camp Sturgis DT / May 4th, 1873 / Approved / GA Custer/Bvt Major General USA/ Col 7th Cav /Comdg" on folded verso of a lined legal folio sheet. Two forms are pasted to the inside of the document, both from the Headquarters Department of Dakota, May 14th and June 3rd, 1873. The matter at hand seems to be a request for new tents to replace damaged ones. Brigadier General Bard suggests that the damaged tents should first be inspected. The matter is respectfully referred to the Chief Quartermaster by command of Brigadier General Terry. When General Custer found himself in deep trouble because of his political activities, it was Terry who came to his aid. VF, with some minor ink smearing in the General´s signature.
