Collection of nine items consisting of ALSs, a document, a check, and a signature. The letters, some single-page and some multi-page, most pre-or post-war, are signed by Samuel W. Crawford, John A. Logan, Theodorus Bailey (war-dated), Edmund Schriver, Lorenzo Thomas, and Winfield Scott Schley; the document is a list of quartermaster’s stores signed by Marshall Ludlington; a bank check filled out and signed by Eugene Asa Carr; and an ink signature of Alexander Shaler. Bailey’s letter, written on board the “Flag Ship St. Lawrence,” dated January 12, 1863, reads, in part: “I send enclosed my General order No. 2 [not included]. When I took command the Commanders of Vessels in this squadron did not fully understand the rights and duties of belligerent cruisers and Blockaders, hence I found the necessity of drawing up and issuing minute instructions to them.” In overall very good condition.
