Item Details

Description

John Dahlgren and Gideon Welles Signed Letter

One page bi-fold on lightly lined paper, 7.75" x 9.75", October 30, 1861, signed by both Gideon Welles, "Gideon Welles", as Secretary of the Navy, and John Dahlgren, "J A Dahlgren", as Commander of the Washington Navy Yard. To Assistant Paymaster Richardson, Steamer "Harriet Lane". Docket to verso. Expected folds with tiny separations along folds, faint toning, slight ink smudges, else near Fine.

Welles answers an inquiry regarding the salary due to Richardson and Assistant Engineer Charles H. Stone. Welles was a founder of the Republican party and served as Secretary of the Navy throughout the Civil War. At the bottom of the page is Dahlgren's endorsement. This American naval officer and inventor was best known for the "Dahlgren" guns he designed for the Navy. He made many other improvements in naval armaments, headed the Washington Navy Yard during the early years of the Civil War, and in 1863, was given command of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. An excellent association of Civil War naval figures.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
