Letter
Edwin V. Sumner to William H. Gardner, U.s. Navy, July 29, 1861
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE PACIFIC,
San Francisco, July 29, 1861.
Capt. WILLIAM H. GARDNER, U.S. Navy, Commanding Navy-Yard, Mare Island, Cal. : CAPTAIN: I have telegraphed to-day to keep the Shubrick in commission, as she may be wanted at any moment for the protection of the coast. I think this application will be granted, and therefore I hope you will think proper to delay dismantling the ship till we get a reply. Very truly, yours,
: E. V. SUMNER,
Brigadier-General, U. S. Army, Commanding.
