Summary
Regrets that Stevens has declined the command of the artillery regiment at New York. The lack of a serious disposition in the Legislature to fortify the Port has resulted in an insufficient appropriation of $3,000. To go ahead with the expectation of further grants "is to invite the like Censure which the Commissioners for Building public offices here experienced."
