W. K. Armistead

Sir
Your letter of the 16th inst is received. As soon as you shall have laid out a semi circular battery in front of the temporary Works at Fort Norfolk, for 10 Cannon, and after giving suitable directions to Lieut. Wood & the principal Workman, you should without delay proceed to Hoods & commence the battery & redoubts as proposed by Captn Bomford. As many workmen should be engaged at Hoods as can be employed with advantage. You will occasionally visit Norfolk to see that all is going on well, but your principal personal attention, should be confined to the works at Hoods. You are to have those Works completed at all Events by November, No excuse can be admitted for any unnecessary delay.

I am &c
