sir,

I beg leave to represent to your Excellency and The Honble The Council that the Wharves at state Island and Mud Island are in need of repairs—one corner of the wharf on Mud Island is sunk very considerably, the repairing these wharves at present would cost little compared to the expence thereof If they Are left much longer without it as the tides are very fast reducing them. Mr. Connaroe who hath contracted with the Wardens for sinking A Pier near Mud Island And repairing the boom piers, has proposed if the state desires it to repair these two wharves. I beg leave represent further, that it appears very necessary to repair these two wharves And that Mr. Connaroe proposes to do it for A reasonable Allowance. I have the honor to be with high respect sir your Most Obedient servant.
