Lot Description

Printed broadside, 9 x 15.75 in. Special Instructions To Enrolling Officers and Assistant Enrolling Officers. Houston, Texas Publishing House, June 25, 1862. Orders for all enrolling officers to list all men between the ages of 18 and 35 in their respective counties for three years Confederate military service. Instructions are given for handling "aliens," disability, and exempt employment. For example:

Persons applying for certificates of exemption, on account of employment or official position, in accordance with law, will be required to take the accompanying oath; and all exempts under this head will be promptly reported. If, however, the exempt should change his vocation and place himself outside the pale of exemption, it will be the duty of the enrolling officer of his district, county, or beat, to enroll him and report him for duty. Civil officers are only exempt during their term of office.

The law in regard to Apothecaries will be liberally construed, and Physicians filling their prescriptions at their own offices will be recognized as Apothecaries and exempted...

All gunsmiths actually engaged in their business and all persons employed by them in the manufacture or repairing of arms will be exempt from Conscription so long as thus engaged....

Signed in type John S. Ford, Col. 2d Reg. TMR, Superintendent Conscripts.
