Signed by Lieutenant Murphy as aide-de-camp to Union General Pleasonton. Serves as a congratulatory message from General William S. Rosecrans after Pleasonton forced the retreat of General Price during Price's Raid. Rosecrans declares "The pursuit of over three hundred miles accomplished in so short a time, contending a considerable portion of the war, and victory so decisive over such odds, will rank among the brilliant achievements of any war, and cover with honor all who have been engaged in it." At the time, Rosecrans was commanding the Department of the Missouri.
