Lafitte to repair the damages sustained by being sunk and stranded, July 3, 1863
No. 9—C.
Statement of loss sustained by the steamship Margaret and Jessie, in consequence of the detention necessary to repair the damages sustained by being sunk and stranded.
This claim is made for one round voyage; whereas the time estimated by the board of survey as necessary to effect the repairs would justify a claim for two round voyages, which estimate is believed to be correct. Say:
| 312 tons freight from Nassau to a confederate port, payable in advance at current rate of £60 per ton | £18,720 | 0 | 0 |
| Freight on 368,986 pounds of cotton, at 5d | 7,687 | 4 | 2 |
| £26,407 | 4 | 2 |
GEORGE A. TRENHOLM. By his agent, JNO. B. LAFITTE.
