George W. Goethals letter to William R. Scott
Manuscripts
Typed letter signed on Isthmian Canal Commission letterhead and marked "Personal" from George W. Goethals, chief engineer of the Panama Canal to William R. Scott, author of the soon to be published, Americans in Panama. The letter discusses the time table for the first ship to pass through the canal and what must be accomplished such as the completion of lock gates and the state of the Culebra Cut (also known as the Gaillard Cut). He estimates the approximate date for first passage as late September, 1913. Goethals goes on to run through the construction, labor and associated costs. He is still uncertain as to how far under the $375,000,000 estimate the Canal will ultimately cost as certain costs were not figured into the original estimates. The letter concludes with cost figures and estimates on excavation for the Culebra Cut. According to Goethals, the original estimate of 196,000,000 cubic yards to be removed will probably increase by 25,000,000 cubic yards.
