WORDEN, JOHN L.
(1818 - 1897) Union naval commander of the Monitor during her historic clash with the CSS Merrimac at Hampton Roads. A.L.S. 1p. sm. 8vo., [n.p., n.d.], in pencil to a lady: "…This will be handed to you by Miss Howard, the daughter of an old shipmate on mine on the 'Monitor'…Her father rendered faithful & efficient service during the war…[which] entitles her to the kind consideration of the lady patriots of the country…". Very good.
