Confederate Major General Maury writes to General Beauregard requesting that he make known what work the engineers should focus on first. Asks if the work above the city should be put off until the work at Bay Shore is completed. Informs, "At present we have but few negroes - ...There are two or three hundred negroes on Eastern Shore who will be over here tomorrow." Written on stationary from Headquarters, District of the Gulf.
