This collection consists of a letter from U.S. Navy Lieutenant John A. Dahlgren to his son, Ulric Dahlgren, during the Civil War. John Dahlgren, later promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral, served as commander of the Washington Navy Yard from 1861-1863, where he developed several innovative naval guns. Afterwards he commanded the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. Based on the contents of the letter, Dahlgren probably wrote it April 13 in 1861 or 1862, when the younger Dahlgren was engaged in legal studies (see biographical sketch at
http://www.all-biographies.com/soldiers/ulric_dahlgren.htm). In the letter, John Dahlgren asks when the younger Dahlgren can be spared from his studies.Washington
