Commandant Samuel L. Breese Letter 3 April 1854

Commandants Office
Navy Yard Gosport
April 3 1854

Sir,
The new Magazine at Fort Norfolk is completed, with the exception of the conductors, which it is presumed the Bureau proposes placing on the building. As there are a variety of plans for these, I should be pleased to have your directions in the matter, as well as the money for paying for them.

I shall not recommend placing the powder in it before May next.

I am Respectfully,
your obedient servant,
Sam. L. Breese
Captain

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