| Dear Sir, |
| I have instructed Mr. Ferguson
to leave the number of cars you require at the Coal mine for you
weekly. It may not be possible to do it altogether regularly, but we
will try to furnish the number during the week. |
| Our stock of cars is small in
comparison with the business we have to do. Please have the cars
unloaded promptly so that the returning train can bring them back. If
the cars are not detained, we will be enabled to facilitate your
business the better, as will as to accommodate the pressing wants of the
public. |
| Very Respectfully |
| W. Rothrock |
