A letter from Josiah Tattnall to General Henry C. Wayne that conveys Tattnall's intent to travel to Washington, D.C. to resign
his post as Commodore of the U.S. Navy, in response to Georgia's vote to secede from the Union, and to immediately return
to Georgia to join the state navy. After many battles as a flag officer of the Confederate Navy, Tattnall was later captured
by Sherman in Savannah in late 1864.
