Good war-date Union naval letter written by Acting Master Samuel B. Gregory, 1pp. quarto, U.S.S. Western World, Wingaw [Winyah] Bay, South Carolina, July 7, 1862, addressed to Asst. Paymaster Seymour Frizelle, and reads in part: "...I deem it my duty to call your attention to the mutinous and insolent language used towards me in my Gig last evening. I had it in my mind to notice the offence as soon as we arrived on board the vessel, but deeming it better to wait till morning and weight the matter fully and decide what course to pursue and I have adopted the following. I request of you Sir to meet me in my cabin before Mr. Cheesboro and the boat crew before whom it was stated, and make a satisfactory apology or I shall present your case to Com. DuPont for Court Martial…the language used on the occasion referred to was 'You can do as you damn please for what I care.'…". Near fine
