Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. POPHAM, Sir Home Riggs (1762-1820). Autograph letter signed, ordering a medical survey of sick men aboard HMS Hussar. Calcutta, 12 November 1813. Single sheet, written on one side in ink and signed Sir Home Popham at the foot. Addressed beneath to Mr Graham, Surgeon HMS Stirling Castle. Old manuscript number "62" in pencil to the upper right corner. Light age toning and a few minor handling marks with old folds. Small piece of tape to the verso, otherwise very good.  Written from Calcutta on 12 November 1813 while Popham was commanding HMS Stirling Castle. He instructs the ship's surgeon, James Graham, to examine sick sailors aboard HMS Hussar at the request of her captain, George Elliot: "Capt Elliot wishes me to order a Survey on some Men belonging to the Hussar, pray therefore call onboard the Hussar, examine them, leave a Note of your opinion." Medical surveys of this kind could determine whether sailors were fit to remain in service or should be invalided.  Sir Home Riggs Popham was one of the more colourful Royal Navy officers of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, remembered particularly for his work on naval signalling and for his involvement in the 1806 Buenos Aires expedition. In 1813 he was appointed to command HMS Stirling Castle and carried Francis Rawdon-Hastings, Earl of Moira, to India to take up office as Governor-General. The recipient, James Graham, was surgeon of HMS Stirling Castle and had previously served under Popham aboard HMS Venerable. Captain George Elliot (1784-1863), commander of HMS Hussar, was an experienced naval officer who had served at Cape St Vincent and the Nile and later became an admiral and senior Admiralty official. A pleasing association between three identifiable Royal Navy officers, written in Calcutta. Signed by Author(s).…
