Partly-printed vellum DS, signed “Woodrow Wilson” as president and "Franklin D. Roosevelt" as acting secretary of the Navy, one page, 15.25 x 18.5, July 22, 1913. President Wilson appoints Stewart E. Barber as a "Paymaster in the Navy, with the rank of Lieutenant Commander." Signed at the conclusion by Woodrow Wilson and countersigned by Acting Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt. The bottom vignette retains the original blue embossed Navy Department seal. Rolled and in good to very good condition, with heavy wrinkling, and dampstaining blurring the end of Roosevelt's signature and rendering Wilson's signature extremely light.
