Summary:
Letter to R. W. Thompson, Secretary of the Navy, dated October 29, 1877 acknowledging the receipt of a letter from the 25th concerning the hours of labor in the Navy Yards and other items that are difficult to read due words being eaten away. The letter itself is frail, thin to the point of transparency, and has been eaten away at some points by rust due to the iron based ink used in penning the correspondence. The page number of the ledger this letter was copied into appears in the upper right. Parts of another letter are clearly visible through the paper itself as well.
