Dressed to Kill, Dressed to Till
Bifold sheet containing 4 pages of text, each 9 ½ x 7 ¾ inch format. No place or date of publication but probably Washington, DC in early spring 1820. The introductory paragraph by Secretary of the Navy Smith Thompson, is dated May 10, 1820 and states that the new regulations for officer’s dress are effective “the first day of May, 1821” and to which all officers must conform. Clean copy, with folds, docketed on 4th page “Uniforms.” Rare. Not found in the Union catalog.
