SIR: I have the honor to enquire whether the appropriation approved March 3 1871 for Cape Foulweather Light Station Oregon 1871-72 reverts to the Treasury on the 30' June 1872. And in case it does revert, to request authority to contract for Ma- terials, Transportation, Work + Labor, before the 1st July without advertisement. I would expect to have all the material purchased before the appropriation reverts, but the transportation has proved an exceedingly troublesome matter. Mr. Simpson has just completed lighters to replace those that were wrecked, but now his schooner has been badly damaged. By this time, it should be nearly repaired. I have been unable to get any vessel here to do the work & shall probably have to ship the metal work to San Francisco & reship thence to Cape Foulweather. It will be extremely inconvenient if this money re- verts on the 1st of July. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Henry M. Robert Maj. of Eng'rs & L.H. Eng'r, Thirteenth District. 383	109 THIRTEENTH Portland, Oregon Chairman Light House Board, Washington, D.C.
