Inadvertently the original list of contents of boxes containing Cape Foulweather lantern, sent with your letter of the 17th January, was forwarded to Major Robert.

February (??) (187)3

Sir

The enclosed are copies of telegrams just received from the Engineer of the 13th District in regard to Cape Foulweather lanterns. They are not entirely intelligible but you are requested to consider them in connection with the Boards letter of yesterday asking if you sent glass for the lantern and when. It is feared that as Cape Foulweather is so nearly inaccessible that considerable delay will occur in the lighting of the Light House.

Very respectfully George H. Elliot. Major of Engineers, U.S.A. Engineer Secretary

Col. I. C. Woodruff Eng'r 3rd L.H. District New York.
