notable item/thing
not being able to affect any alteration on the frigate plank while in Norfolk and presuming it could not be done with propriety without writing to the board of war
mention the alterations which I understood just might be made and the plank answer the purpose as well
plank in general might be shorter
plank for bottom & ceiling might be wider at one end than the other
alterations would make the plank much easier to get and would be better as it would be clearer of knots
write and suggest as much to the board of war
alterations might be made
thank you for a line of information
