By Welles, Gideon
n.p., 1877. Small paper, 2 3/4" x 4 3/8"; possibly cut from a larger document. Neat ink manuscript. Signed less than 7 months before Welles's death. Light shadows at each corner of recto from four glue remnants on verso from previous mounting. Very Good.

Gideon Welles [1802-1878] was a Connecticut politician, member of the Republican National Committee from Connecticut from 1856-65; and Secretary of the Navy from 1861 to 1869. In his later years he spent most of his time on his writings.
