Lumley // Get the...Yankee...";Verso: "Principal places on the Potomac River where the Rebels are supposed to be creating Batteries - pointed out to me by Commodore Craven // [Signed] Lumley." Small sketch of a battle scene, boxed; sketches of horses, one with a rider; nice caricature of a man with a walking stick.
