Sir,
   The order removing the force of E. Wilkes & Co to the 3rd Residency is suspended. In the meantime every exertion must be made to push forward the southern portion of the work.
   If it be impracticable to find sticks of the length required for shingles to the trestle-work you are authorized to make the following alteration
   Instead of sticks 25 x 8 x 14 order sticks 13' x 10" x 14". Of course double the number will be required.
   Report to me the culverts which will in your opinion be necessary before the masonry can be built and I will see about the proper substitutes.
Yours respectfully
Edmd TD Myers
Capt &c
