Letter
GOODRICH, Surveyor to Henry D. Moore , Collector, November 9, 1869
[123] *[Inclosure No. 2.]
Mr. Goodrich, surveyor, to Mr. Moore, collector.
Custom-House, Philadelphia, Surveyor’s Office, November 9, 1869.
Sir: In compliance with the request contained in your letter of this date, I have caused an examination of the ram Atlanta to be made, now lying at Neafie & Levy’s wharf, in charge of officers of the customs.
The Atlanta has recently been repaired, and her machinery put in order. During the last week four large guns have been taken on, which are placed in position, and mounted.
She has no coal, stores, nor ammunition on board, but could be got ready for sea in four or five days. Two inspectors are in charge of the ram.
Very respectfully,
E. O. GOODRICH,
Surveyor.
Surveyor.
Hon. Henry D. Moore, Collector.
