| Dr Sir, |
| The largest portion of our Depot at this
place is appropriated to the use of the Govt greatly to the
inconvenience of the legitimate business of the Rd. It is but right
& proper that we should have a fair rent for it. And at the same
time being disposed to accommodate the Govt. the use of the Depot
almost ??? to an ??? it being nearly fireproof. The use of Warehousing
platform is a great drawback on our business & we cant do well
without the half of it. |
| Rent of Depot the part you have pr mo |
