| Sir, |
| We wrote you several letters requesting
you to lay the matter before the proper authorities in regard to funds
necessary to keep up repairs and transportation on our Road. |
| Since the date of those letters we have
received $100,000 which falls far short of our expenses during that
interval, and leaves us in a worse condition than we were at the time
we wrote you. |
| I feel it necessary to fix a time for
stopping or curtailing the expenses of the Road and propose on the
20th inst to issue notice to all contractors to stop furnishing
materials. |
| It is not our desire to do this, but it
appears to be absolutely necessary, as we are accumulating debt with
persons who cannot afford to wait, and feel that we are doing them
injustice to continue to induce them to furnish that for which we
cannot pay. |
| Cannot Capt Foeggett be placed in funds
promptly to enable him to pay us 1/2 or such proportion of our claim
as will enable us to continue operations. Please let me hear from you
soon so that I may know what is to be done. |
| Yours Respy |
| Geo Yonge |
