HDQRS. DEPT. OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA
General S. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector General:
GENERAL: I learn indirectly from Capt. R. M. Cuyler, ordnance officer at Savannah, Ga., that there are in Richmond, Va., several columbiads, 8-inch and 10-inch, which I might possibly obtain on immediate application for the defense of Savannah. I have had batteries constructed on the bluff at the lower end of the city, for which guns of the heaviest caliber are desirable. Should the enemy succeed in passing the batteries on the flats below the city with these guns in position on the bluff the city itself might perhaps be held.
