Commandant John D Sloat Letter November 14 1849

Commandants Office
Navy Yard Gosport
November 14 1849
Sir,
I forward herewith a traced plan of the building I propose for the Keeper of the Magazine. This house is designed for a Commander as an officer of inferior rank should not in my judgment be assigned to that duty. If however it should be determined to place a guard there, a house for less expense will answer and a plan of which will be forwarded it in time. I have thought it best however to submit the one beneath enclosed for you consideration, for the reason stated above.

I am Respectfully, Sir
your obedient servant,
John D Sloat
Commandant

Comm Joseph Smith
Chief of the Burrow of Yards & Docks
Washington
