ts are being built, and that vessels are being thus altered; but the testimony of some reliable expert is deemed important. You will, therefore, do a good service by employing a competent man to proceed to that city and procure the desired information, to be communicated through you to this Department. A mechanic who could and would obtain means of accurately reporting the character of the vessels, whether steamers or not; and if steamers, whether propellers, their size and armament, and whether and to what extent they are protected by iron; in what manner it is secured, and its thickness. Such details as these, together with the number of vessels being prepared at Cincinnati or elsewhere on the Ohio, Arkansas, or Mississippi Rivers, are important. Perhaps a mechanic now at work on them could afford this information. The Department will pay such compensation to your agent as you may deem proper in this matter. Yours, respectfully, S. R. Mallory, Secretary Confederate Navy.
