War-dated partly-printed DS, one page, 8 x 10, December 14, 1863. Document informing William Sargent that he is “hereby detached from the Relief (4th Rate) and…will report to Rear Admiral Stringham, on the 18th inst. for duty on board the U. S. S. Harvest Moon.” Signed at the conclusion by Welles, and countersigned twice by S. H. Stringham to confirm Sargent’s arrival. In very good condition, with two horizontal folds, scattered toning and soiling, binding holes to the left border, and moderate feathering to ink throughout, although signatures remain unaffected. Sargent would be lost at sea upon the sinking of the U. S. S. Oneida in 1870.
