Sirs,

I have the honor to

date, enclosing

a copy of one

from the Major General commanding

in which he declines continuing

to

furnish the guard heretofore posted at the Naval stores, beyond

Norfolk

Evening, at 6 o'clock

The watchmen whom

Your Excellency proposes to place, for the protection of the Naval Stores,

might certainly be under

the control

of the

Naval Storekeeper - but for

the

Watchmen to be hired and paid-

His Excellency,

S. C. Bonham, Esq. C.B.
