Letter

Laird Brothers to Inglefield, H. M. S. Majestic. Please to acknowledge receipt of this per bearer. We regret having to give rather a shorter notice than you named to us, but we think it will be sufficient. LAIRD BROTHERS, October 22, 1863

Laird Brothers to Captain Inglefield, H. M. S. Majestic.

Sir: With reference to your letter of the 19th instant, as we were unable to get a ship lying in our No. 1 dock floated to-day, for the purpose of removing her to our No. 4 dock—the one in which the El Monnassir is lying—we shall be under the necessity of opening this dock again to-morrow morning. We are, sir, your obedient servants,

LAIRD BROTHERS.

Captain Inglefield, H. M. S. Majestic.

Please to acknowledge receipt of this per bearer. We regret having to give rather a shorter notice than you named to us, but we think it will be sufficient.

LAIRD BROTHERS.
