Summary
Letter, with McBlair's autograph endorsement signed on the verso. The letter, written on board the U.S.S. Marion at Porto Praya, Cape Verde, states that Hawley is ill with dyspepsia, does not believe he can recover on board, and wishes that a medical survey may be held in my case. McBlair's note on the next page, written on 3 May 1858, on board the U.S.S. Dale at Porto Praya, orders the medical examination to be held. Note on bottom of page states that Hawley passed; it is signed by Assistant Surgeons W. Sherman, R. J. Mason and H.W.M. Washington.
