| Captain, |
| I shall need the length of spans, width of
piers and bearings on abutments, height and width of Truss of Holston
Bridge. Please also state if the abuts. of Watauga Bridge will admit of
the Truss extending back from the face beyond the bearing of the present
Truss. I am ordering lumber for duplicate bridges, and desire to give
more bearing on the abut. than has been given according to the
dimensions you furnished of Watauga. |
