From Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion.
Order of the Secretary of the Navy Welles to Rear Admiral Lee regarding special duty for Acting Ensign Harris, USN. Written November 6, 1863.
SIR: Ensign Arnold Harris, jr., has been ordered to report to you. He has been abroad and has been in Wilmington lately and is willing to go again, and it is possible that he can be made useful by allowing him to go to New York, thence to Nassau and Wilmington.
You are authorized to allow him to proceed on any duty you shall approve.
Very respectively,
Gideon Welles, Secretary of Navy
To Acting Rear Admiral S.P. Lee, U.S. Navy, Comdg. North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, Hampton Roads.
