Register for travel permission, 1862.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84192507

Following an Aug. 4, 1862 presidential call for troops during the Civil War, a subsequent federal War Dept. order of Aug. 8, 1862 required travel restrictions on anyone liable for the draft, to prevent evasion of military duty. Men between the ages of eighteen and forty-three were required to gain permission of the state secretary to leave the Commonwealth. These two registers listing men wishing to travel out of Massachusetts include date, name, residence, and destination for those men requesting such permission. Applications of persons listed in this series are found in: Applications for travel permission, 1862 ((M-Ar)129X)
