Office of the Light House Engineer,
Thirteenth District,
Portland, Oregon, August, 5, 1871 (partially missing)

Rear Admiral W.B. Shubrick
Chairman Light House Board,
Washington, D.C.

Sir:

I have the honor to transmit for the approval of the Light House Board duplicate leases dated May 1, 1871, for hire of storehouse at Yaquina Bay, Oregon, for one year from that date at a quarterly rent of $12.50 coin payable on or about the middle of each quarter.

I have the honor to state that at the time of hiring these premises it was absolutely necessary that I should do so at once to shelter the stores received for the building of the Light House at Yaquina Bay and as the building was large and near the landing requiring no handling of material till needed at the work I considered it worth $50.00
