| Dear Sir, |
| ***** |
| We wish you would send us all the Old
Rails you have, together with any scrap on hand. We will allow you as
much as any one else. There will be doubtless a great scarcity of raw
materials for the next few months, and we will be much aided in
executing orders promptly by securing from them what materials they
can spare. |
| We have still about 500 Tons {about
5 miles of track, both sides} New Rails for
sale or exchange preferred. |
| Very truly |
| J. R. Anderson & Co. |
