Victoria, B. C, Nov. 16, 1892. 

 E. A. Holm an, 



Victoria: 



Dear Sir : With reference to your enquiring as to prices of 

 schooners, we have to say that we could supply a 

 schooner of eighty tons measurement, finished and ' orsc ooner ' 

 found as per your specifications, for the sum of eight thousand seven 

 hundred and fifty dollars ($8,750.00). 



A schooner of thirty-five tons we could supply for four thousand 

 three hundred and twenty-five dollars ($4,325.00). 



In both cases we will guarantee a model which will give satisfaction 

 as to speed and seaworthiness. 



We would also mention that in case of your giving us the order, we 

 should be able to build under cover, which would be of great advantage 

 to the hull in winter. 



With regard to putting in auxiliary steam power, we are only pre- 

 pared to submit approximate prices, as we have had 

 no time to get prices from manufacturers. We think po !^er ra cost ° f 8team 

 an 8" x 10" engine would be about the size for the larger 

 vessel, and the cost of that, with an upright boiler, would probably be 

 about $2,000.00 extra. 



For the smaller one, a 6" x 8" engine, with upright boiler, would be 

 about $1,000.00 extra. 



We might possibly reconsider the above prices on getting further 

 details as to the construction, etc. 

 Yours, etc., 



H. E. Foot & Go. 



[Mr. Foot states that the cost in the carpenter work to fit them for 

 aux. steam would be small, and he would make no extra charge for it, 

 should we decide on putting in the steam auxiliary.]
