Sir: The Commandant has received the proposition from the blacksmiths, finishers, and strikers of this yard, offering gratuitously to work until eight o'clock every night on the Merrimac, in order to expedite her completion.

If it should be found necessary to require their services as expressed, they will be duly notified by the executive officer of the yard.
