Sir,
I have received the copy of your letter of August 21st in regard to the sails of the Yacht "America," which you desire to have turned over to you, to be used for the service of the Quarter Master's Department.
In reply, you are informed, that the Secretary of the Navy has ordered them to be brought from Florida to Savannah, where they are required for the Naval Service.
