Office of Light-House Engineer,
Thirteenth District,
Portland, Oregon, Aug 21, 1872

Chairman Light House Board,
Washington, D.C.
SIR:
I have the honor to transmit herewith a communication from Chas L. Brown, contractor for Light Keepers’ Dwelling at Cape Foulweather Lt. Station, Og’n, and to recommend that the extension of time asked for, sixty days (60), be granted, as I think the delays have been caused by difficulties connected with transportation, and that due diligence has been used by the contractor. Notwithstanding all my efforts to secure transportation of materials for the L.H. Tower at Cape Foulweather, fully half the season has been lost by unavoidable delays from lack of materials at the Cape.

Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Henry M. Robert
Maj. Of Eng’rs & L.H. Eng’r
Thirteenth District
