Montresor Journals
Capt. John Montressor to
22nd. This morning being nearly elapsed, waited on the Secretary, who shewed me a sketch of that part of the River where Mud Island is situated, being as their opinion the proposed spot for fortifying, as also a project of Lieutenant Myers, of the 60th Regiment, the whole without scale, compass, or remark, together with some bearings and distances. The Secretary acquainted me that Governor Penn had appointed the Committee to meet to-morrow at the State House where my attendance was requested.
