Montgomery, May 28, 1861
 
Hon. S. R. Mallory
Secretary of the Navy
 
Sir,
   I have the honor to inform you, since my last communication, I visited the ironworks and rolling mill at Atlanta, Ga. {Schofield & Markham} The proprietor, after a consultation with the director of the works, found it impossible to undertake the rolling of iron plates, no other than railroad iron being made at the mill, and it would require an entire change to adapt the mill to other work.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
D. N. Ingraham
Captain, C. S. Navy
