Letter 73: To Commodore Daniel Ammen, Bureau of Navigation, 1877-December-6

Download File

Summary:
December 6, 1877 letter to Daniel Ammen, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, which acknowledged the receipt of a Bureau Order from the 3rd of December. The order was to direct six specimen cylinders to Key West for use aboard the U.S. Coast Steamer "Blake" to Lt. E. B. Thomas, commander of the Navy depot there. The letter itself is frail, thin to the point of transparency, and has been eaten away at some points by rust due to the iron based ink used. The page number of the ledger this letter was copied into appears on the upper right. Parts of another letter are clearly visible through the paper.
