1304. (document) U. S. Light-House Establishment, Office of the Light-House Inspector, Fourteenth District, Cincinnati, Ohio. Jan. 19, 1895 to Light-Keeper W. G. Chandler in Gravelly Springs, (Lauderdale County) Alabama regarding loss of lantern, signed in hand by F. W. Crocker, Lt. Commander, U. S. Navy Light-House Inspector, 14th District. Original typed letter on official stationery measures 8” x 10”. Written in reply to post-light keeper W.G. Chandler regarding the loss of a lantern, the Inspector writes: “….Your letter dated Jan. 13th., 1895 regarding the loss of your lantern has been received. In reply, I would say that it is impossible to send you any supplies, and the best thing under the circumstances is for you to try to borrow from a light-keeper near you….” Document is generally clean, just a bit of foxing, signed in hand, with original folds. A rare interesting piece. (VG). $44.
