Lot 1609
Loring, William Wing. Lot of two items, the first being a carte de visite portrait of the General, no backmark. Mounted on a double-lined card, there is minor soil and a faint pencil ID at the bottom of the image, but the piece is in otherwise fine condition.

Being a hospital rations voucher/report. Folds with tiny edge separation at one intersection; minor toning at folds, else fine. Strong signature.
A wonderful lot that illustrates some of Loring's long military career. As the Lieutenant Colonel at Columbia Barracks, Loring was respected by his men and did much of the day-to-day work of running the installation.
