Sir,

The Secretary of the Navy has requested a guard of a Non Commissioned Officer and six men at the Ship Yards at Baltimore to protect from the fire the Sloops of War building there. You will please to furnish and keep up such a guard till further order, or till the completion of the object shall render the continuance unnecessary

With consideration I am, Sir Yr. Obed S—
