[Begly to Maillefert & Raasloff, 5 Sep 1853]PUBLIC WORKS,
QUEBEC, 5th September, 1853.GENTLEMEN,-With reference to your Tender for deepening the Channel of the St. Lawrence, I have to point out to you a discrepancy between it and the advertisement, the latter running thus
"To have at no place, at low summer water, a less clear depth than 12 feet, and in those Rapids subject to much swell, not less than 13 feet."
As the Commissioners do not intend to deviate from the above mentioned terms, I am directed to request that you will state whether you will agree to your Tender being altered accordingly. I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
T. A. BEGLY.
Messrs. Maillefert & Raasloff,
Sub-Engineers,
New York.
