Sirs,
I have the honor to
acknowledge your
letter
of this
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.
