Washington, December 6, 1860.
Captain J.G. FOSTER,
Corps of Engineers, Charleston, S.C.:
CAPTAIN: Your letter of the 30th ultimo has been received and laid before the Secretary of War for his information.
An additional officer [Lieutenant Meade] as an assistant at Castle Pinckney has been detailed, as you have been already informed by letter of the 5th instant.
Application has been made for a remittance of $1,800 from the "Contingencies of fortifications," to be applied to the purposes of Castle Pinckney; but in the present low state of the Treasury it may be some time before it can be placed to your credit, though the amount is promised by the Treasury Department with the least practicable delay.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
H.G. WRIGHT,
Captain of Engineers, in charge.
