A. Ludlow Case Letter 27 April 1870
April 27,1870
Commodore A. H. Kilty,
Comandant Navy Yard
Norfolk, Va.
Sir,
The letter of the Inspector of Ordinance of the 23rd instant, No 139, is received.
In view of the stringent regulations concerning the care and service of Magazines and Shell Houses, the Bureau is surprised at the discrepancy made of these grenades.
It trusts that the searching examination now being made under the supervision of Capt Crosby will result in restoring the Magazine and Shell-Rooms at Norfolk to that condition of cleanliness, order, and safety in which everything, and places, belonging to Ordinance should invariably be kept.
I am Sir,
Your obedient servant,
A. Ludlow Case
Chief of the Bureau
