I have the honor to state that in this District all bids for work, Government or private, are made in coin.

Your letter of July 20 was not received till after the bids were made on this contract. When I found that the contract could not be made in Legal Tenders, excepting by adding five per cent to the present equivalent in Legal Tenders to cover all contingencies.

This would add $600 to the contract price; therefore, I have made the contract in coin.

Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Henry M. Robert
Maj. of Eng'rs & L.H. Eng'r,
Thirteenth District
