On the 15th of the month I left this city for Boston MA and returned here the 23d, and while in Boston I engaged Mfrs Enoch Robinson ? of that city (who are esteemed the best locksmiths in this country) to make and furnish the locks, hinges, ? required for the doors, windows, ? of the Naval Hospital building, thereby securing a superior article for the purpose, at that cost price.
