Governor of South Carolina:
SIR: It has been reported to me that Cape Romain light-house has been and is now kept burning every night. As this is a most important light-the most important from Cape Hatteras to Florida-I would respectfully suggest to Your Excellency that orders be given for its immediate extinguishment, and, the more surely to guard against the enemy seizing it for their own purposes, that the lens be removed to a place of safety.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
G. T. BEAUREGARD,
Brigadier-General, Commanding.
