Sir:
Referring to your telegram of the 22 instant, in which you say- "Location of Foulweather correct according to Coast Pilot of Oregon"- I have to remark that the Coast Pilot gives the latitude of Yaquina Point as 44° 40 N., the same as you have stated in your form of Notice to Mariners, but the Notice to Mariners also states that Foulweather Light House is 3 3/8 miles to the northward of Yaquina Point. Please to explain your telegram.

Very respectfully,
George H. Elliot
Major of Engineers, U.S.A.
Engineer Secretary

Major H. M. Robert.
Corps of Engineers, U.S.A.
L. H. Engineer.
Portland, Oregon.
