A more extended view of the printed message that extends for 41 inches, and had to be folded to fit into the envelope. The message, from a naval purser (C.C. Jackson) to Captain John B. Marchard in Washington, DC, requesting the Captain to catch the morning train for NY and meet him at the Brooklyn navy yard, is docketed October 27, 1858 on the verso of the envelope.
