Report of Ellwood Morris, Chief Engineer of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, submitted by the Maryland governor to the House. The report includes the state of the work above dam no. 6, financial details and other related matters.

"December, 31, 1840."
"Pursuant to your order of December 15th 1840, directing me to report, -1st. Generally upon the State of the work above dam No. 6.-2nd. Upon its probable aggregate cost, and the amount of work now done and to be done &c. &c. I have the honor to submit the following Report, which though somewhat more general, will be found to comprise the 1st head of your instructions. And with a view to perspicuity, I propose to treat the subjects considered, in three divisions: 1. Entering succinctly into the history and design of the work, viewing it as a route connecting the Western waters with the sea. 2. Treating of the canal now under construction from Cumberland 50 miles down stream to dam No. 6. 3. Noticing briefly the condition and prospects of the finished Canal, now navigated upstream from Georgetown to dam No. 6. a distance of 134 miles."--Page 4
