Letter

CHARLES FOLSOM, Acting Master to James F. Armstrong, November 15, 1862

[Forwarded by Andrew A. Harwood, Commandant.]

Sir: In answer to your question as to the sufficiencies of supplies and stores on board the Sunbeam, I have the honor to state that on her arrival in New York there was sufficient to have enabled her to keep the sea for at least one week longer. Supplies were furnished the Sunbeam for twenty-two men for ten days, and I was four days and a half in making the passage.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

CHARLES FOLSOM, Acting Master.

Commander James F. Armstrong, Commanding U. S. Steamer State of Georgia, Washington, D. C.
