FORT SUMTER, S.C., February 21, 1861.
Colonel S. COOPER,
Adjutant-General:
COLONEL: I have the honor to report that they are still busily occupied extending the work at Cummings Point, and also the glaces at Fort Moultrie. We are placing the heavy pieces of wrought iron, intended for the second tier of embrasures, in the outer recesses of the windows of the second-story gorge front. They will act as good fenders there.
I am, colonel, very respectfully your obedient servant,
ROBERT ANDERSON,
Major, First Artillery, Commanding.
