Description: 3 page letter written from Florence (I cannot make out the sender's name), letter about travels. Very FineUSS Wabash "USS Wabash (1855) was a steam screw frigate of the United States Navy that served during the American Civil War. She was based on the same plans as Colorado. Post-war she continued to serve her country in European operations and eventually served as a barracks ship in Boston, Massachusetts, and was sold in 1912. First recommissioning, 1858-1859 Wabash was recommissioned on 25 May 1858, Captain Samuel Barron in command, and became the flagship of Commodore Elie A. F. La Vallette's Mediterranean Squadron. The future naval hero of the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War, George Dewey—then a midshipman—served aboard the Wabash when she touched at her first port of call, Gibraltar, on 17 August 1858. Dewey would later write in his autobiography that "The Wabash was quite the finest ship of the foreign fleet and also the largest." Wabash returned to the New York Navy Yard on 16 December 1859 and decommissioned there on 20 December 1859."
