Mr Nelson Tift
Savannah Ga.
Dear Sir,
Wishing to avail myself of the presence of the little "Tug propeller" in the Great Oguchee, to turn her into a "Lee Torpedo Ran" in the manner I have this day explained to you, I have to request that you should visit her tomorrow at the Bridge of the S. A. G. RRd {Savannah, Albany & Gulf RR} to inform me:
1. Whether she can be transformed into a Torpedo Ram with one gun
2. How long & at what cost it could be done
3. What is her present value?
4. What would be her speed & draft of water when completed.
Respy your obdt sevt
