Your communication of the 11th inst. is received, I immediately stopped the man who was taking dirt away from the Magazine in Conti St. (this is the Magazine which Col. Washburn decided did not belong to the Bureau)
There are no ditches immediately around or in front of this Magazine but Mayor Withers told me that the City Surveyor reported to him that there was not dirt enough in the Magazine to fill the hole in its immediate vicinity.

over
