Acting Paymaster John J. Calkins

I am looking for a ID'd image of Assistant Paymaster John J. Calkins. He served as a Landsman on the USS Michigan, then transferred to the Mississippi Squadron. He served as clerk to the Fleet Paymaster. Calkins served aboard the "Clara Dolson", gunboats "Rattler", "Covington" and "Exchange". He was at the Seige of Vicksburg, Arkansas Post & Helena. On January 1864 Calkins accepted a Commission as Second Lt. in the Third Michigan Battery and served in the Field Artillery for the remainder of the war.
