War-date Autograph Letter Signed by Naval Commander John Goldsborough, 3pp. with xerox of cover, [USS] Florida, Warsaw Sound, May 31st, 1862. In part, "General Steven has possession of the Rail Road between Charleston and Savannah, has destroyed bridges and cut off all communications. The attack on Charleston I learn is to commence today or tomorrow ... The rebels have 4000 men in the city. the plan I believe is to take the city and starve them out of the forts which can be readily accomplished. The Navy I fear will not have much to do. ... Husband John."
