This is a Civil War discharge paper, the name on it is of my 4th great grandfather, Amaziah C. Mitchell. On the far left is the whole front of it. In the middle is a cropped/zoomed shot of the writing portion. On the far right is the only printing on the back, it describes what he looks like. If you know anything to help out please comment below!!
