Eighty-seven pages, complete. Pages are clean and intact overall but have light to moderate age toning throughout, moderate foxing, a large chip on front (not affecting text), and slight bumping to edges and corners. A Very Good copy. A collection of five financial statements regarding the expenditure of appropriations and monetary rewards to American military officers and crew members who captured British ships during the War of 1812. Included is brief correspondence by acting Secretary of the Navy John C. Calhoun (1782-1850) and 4th Auditor of the Treasury Constant Freeman.

Freeman's summary: "1st: The statement, marked A, exhibits the amount of moneys appropriated; the names of the prize agents, to whom the same has been paid; the amount expended, and the balances which remain in the agents' hands, as appears by accounts settled, or on file, in this office. 2d: B. exhibits the amount paid by George S. Wise, junr. to the officers and crew of the ship Wasp; the persons to whom; the period when paid; and the balance due to sundry seamen, unclaimed. 3d: C. exhibits the amount paid by Samuel Hambleton to the officers, seamen, and others, attached to the Lake Erie station; the persons to whom; the periods when paid; and the balances unexpended. 4th: D, shows the amount paid by George Beall, junr. to the officers, seamen, and others, attached to Lake Champlain station; the persons to whom paid, and the balances unexpended. 5th: E Copy of a statement from Charles Biddle, of the amount paid by him to the officers and crew of the ship Hornet; and a copy of his letter to Benjamin Homans, on the subject of his agency.
