INGLEFIELD, Captain to Messrs. Laird, Birkenhead, November 3, 1863
Captain Inglefield, H. M. S. Majestic, to Laird Brothers.
Her Majesty’s Steamer Majestic, Rock Ferry, November 3, 1863.
Gentlemen: Obedient to instructions I have received from the lords commissioners of the admiralty, I have removed the El Tousson from the great float, and moored her near my ship. It, however, became necessary to pay the dock dues that the ship might be cleared; and as you expressed to me, when I spoke to you myself on the subject, that you did not intend to pay them, I have deposited the sum of £150 with the dock committee under protest, and now renew my request that you will pay these dues, so that I may be refunded the amount deposited.
I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
E. A. INGLEFIELD, Captain.
Messrs. Laird, Birkenhead.
