One tulcapoté, to cover the clay mould for the artillery. Two levels. One claw hammer. One medium sized saw. One _quintal_ of steel to make files, punches, and drills, for boring the artillery. Twenty-nine _arrobas_ and ten _libras_ of wrought iron for the manufacture of _animas_, sledge hammers, tongs, and hammers with which to work the iron for the artillery. A screw-plate with seven holes; and seven sledge-hammers. One anvil and forge. Another small forge and three screws. [_Endorsed_: "Without date or signature."] [All these items apparently refer to articles subsequently added to the list; for on the MS. each one is checked off.] Memorandum of what we need in this camp of his Majesty which is stationed and has its residence in the Western Islands, in addition to the requests made in the letters and memoranda which have been sent in the past. It is as follows: _Bellows_: First of all we need four pairs of bellows--two pairs made of dressed leather, and the other two of rawhide. They should be sent wrapped in coarse frieze, and placed in their jars, so as not to be gnawed by worms. _Tubes_: Four pairs of bellows-tubes large enough for the forges. |
