Complete Transcript:

Navy Department, / July 10, 1863.
Sir:
You have permission to report to Rear Admiral Paulding Commandant of the Navy Yard at New York for examination as to your qualifications for the position of Acting Ensign in the Navy of the United States on temporary service, which appointment will be conferred upon you should you be found qualified.

[Endorsement on verso:] July 13/63 / Examined & passed / E Barrett / Lieut Comd’r

Gideon Welles (1802-1878) was a Connecticut native, journalist, Democratic state legislator, Hartford Postmaster, and Chief of the Bureau of Provisions and Clothing for the Navy early in his career. In the 1848 presidential election, Welles left the Democratic Party over the issue of the expansion of slavery. Welles founded an influential Republican organ, the Hartford Evening Press, in 1856. Abraham Lincoln appointed Welles as Secretary of the Navy, and Welles was highly effective in mobilizing the resources of the country for an extensive blockade and offensive operations against the Confederacy. Abraham Lincoln nicknamed Welles his “Neptune,” and Welles served as Secretary of the Navy from 1861 to 1869.

Charles W. Seekins was born in New York. He was appointed an acting ensign on July 17, 1863, and assigned to the Steamer Commodore Barney. He later served on the USS Canonicus and the USS Stonewall. He was discharged in 1866.
