DS, one page, 8 x 10, March 21, 1862. Welles informs Walter Sargent of Brooklyn that he is to be appointed “Acting Master’s Mate in the Navy…If, after instruction in the practice of gunnery and the use of small arms, your proficiency should justify it, you will be ordered on board ship.” Second integral page bears endorsements by two officers. In very good condition, with two horizontal storage folds with separations to edges, scattered creases and soiling, a few edge tears, stain to the top, and moderate feathering to the signature.
