Sampson, William Thomas (1840-1902)
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Rice
References Rice's letter of 7 July. Says he spoke to Admiral Greer on behalf of a person named Merrell. Despite that conversation, it seems that Admiral Walker is still inclined to send Merrell. Says the house will not be able to be kept. Says he left Greer and Walker while they were discussing the issue. Says he will keep Rice informed. Written on letterhead of the Naval Academy's Superintendent's Office. The two pages are joined with an adhesive at the top.
