| Dear Sir, |
| I have written to Lieut. Jackson
requesting to place a perfectly reliable man at Rockland Station with
strict orders not to allow in future any stones to be placed so as to
endanger, in the least, your trains. |
| Negligence in so important a matter is
certainly inexcusable. |
| Very truly yours |
