U.S.S. Tuscarora, manuscript notice of rewards for officers and crew.

One page, folio, lined paper, list of officers and crew to receive $5, $10 or $20. It is signed by the "Commander Commanding", illegibly, but apparently George Eugene Belknap (see "Dictionary of American Biography). Perhaps these rewards are related to the accompanying document, printed form, one page, 4to,, "Treasury Department, Fourth Auditor's Office", filled in in manuscript, dated 7 November 1874, acknowledging letter and accounts "of Commander Geo. E. Belknap, letter, detached, and twenty-seven (27) Deserters. A photocopy of the entry in "The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships" is enclosed, giving the ship's distinguished history (Civil War, etc), though it mentions no deserters.
