Joseph Smith Letter 26 June 1852
Bureau of Yards & Docks
26 June 1852
Captain,
I have received your letter of the 24th inst. in relation to the omission to include in the annual estimates from the Yard under your Command any sum for the completion of the Magazine &c.
By reference to paper No 3 of the annual estimates, you will perceive, that there is a column allotted for all additional appropriations that may be required to be made, to complete the objects, the sums previously appropriated for which, have not been sufficient for that purpose - from these estimates the Bureau makes up its annual report and estimates for Congress. The Report from the Norfolk Navy Yard, forwarded in August last, requiring no additional some to complete the Magazine &c., none was asked from Congress for the ensuing fiscal year; the work must therefore stop on that building until further appropriations shall be made.
Respectfully,
yr ob st,
Jos Smith
Capt. S. L. Breese
