Printed form completed in manuscript, documenting the call-up, in accordance with the regulations governing conscription then in force, of “the Jew Faivel Moses,” born 1791. The conscript’s appearance is minutely described in a list of twelve attributes: height, hair color, eyes, eyebrows, nose shape, mouth shape, beard color, complexion, etc. Then, after all that, his immediate discharge, as surplus (or unsuited) to the requirements of the army, is recorded. Addendum dated 3 August 1817 exempts Faivel Moses from conscription any time in the future.
