LT. JACKSON COLLECTS HIS SALARY
An unusually early Jackson document, dating from his first years in the military. As a twenty-three-year-old Lieutenant Jackson commanded a light artillery battery in the army of General Winfield Scott. During the Mexican-American War he was was commended by his superiors for his actions in the severe fighting at Cerro Gordo, Chapultepec, and other battles, and promoted to Battallion Major. The document, a large oblong printed requisition in tabular form, headed in type "The United States." Battalion Major Jackson requisitions his pay for the month of August ($33.33), plus salary for two individuals each described as "private servant, not soldier" and "two horses." Beneath is a box in which one servant is described. At the bottom Jackson formally certifies "That the foregoing account," which totals $100.63, "is accurate." Jackson documents of such early date are quite rare.
