ENGINEER DEPARTMENT,
Washington,
November 28, 1860.

Captain J.G. FOSTER,
Corps of Engineers, Charleston S.C.:

CAPTAIN: Your letter of the 24th instant has ben received, and in reply I have to say that you are authorized to make the repairs which you report as necessary to Castle Pinckney, and that, as recommended in your letter, you are authorized to organize a working force of an officer, four mechanics, and thirty laborers.

To meet the expenditures at that work, specified in your estimate, the sum of $1,800 will be furnished you from the appropriation for "Contingencies of fortifications."

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

H.G. WRIGHT,
Captain of Engineers, in charge.
