Keeler, William Frederick, 1821-1886. William F. Keeler Letter, 1863 February.

Title: William F. Keeler Letter, 1863 February.

This collection consists of a single letter written by William F. Keeler on February 13, 1863 to David Ellis informing the latter that he had been appointed the Paymaster's Steward on USS Florida. This letter is significant in that it contains the names and/or signatures of four former crewmen and officers of the US Steam Battery Monitor: John P. Bankhead, David R. Ellis, Samuel Dana Greene, and William F. Keeler. Greene noted on the letter the date that Ellis reported for duty and signed off; Bankhead simply wrote "Approved" and signed. Bankhead, who was captain of Monitor when it sank on December 31, 1862, was given command of Florida sometime in the winter of 1862/63 while that vessel was in New York for repairs. Bankhead requested that Greene and Keeler be assigned as his executive officer and paymaster, respectively, aboard the Florida, positions which both had held on Monitor. Keeler, in turn, requested that Ellis be assigned his steward, the same position that Ellis also had held on Monitor. This letter, then, documents a reunion of Monitor-men and indicates a special bond that existed among the officers and crew of the famous ironclad.
