Horatio NELSON (1758-1805). Autograph document signed ("Horatio Nelson") to Captain Samuel Hood "On Board His Majesty's Ship Captain," [prob. Near Cape St. Vincent], 10 April 1797.

One page 266 x 208mm (dampstains, marginal tears and chips, loss at bottom left corner).

Nelson assigns an order of sailing for his squadron. Recently promoted to rear-admiral of the blue, Nelson prepares his squadron for sailing, listing the "Order of Sailing" with his flagship, the HMS, Captain, followed by the Irresistible, Zealous, Orion, Colossus, and the Culloden, and adding that the "French National Flag will be used as a recall Flag." Likely written as Nelson was preparing to assist in evacuating the British garrison at Porto Ferrajo.
