Your favor of the 21st
inst & sketch were duly recd,
but could not be answered soo-
ner. It is difficult to say what
may have been the shape or plans
of the Mexican fortification,
which must have conformed
to the locality, as you seem to
have it. It was probably a "Sa-
lient" with the piece of arty [artillery] on
the angle. As you may have
need of your sketch, which is
quite well drawn, I return it to
you. I am yrs very truly
G. T. Beauregard
