| Sir, |
| In answer to your enquiry, when you can
have an Engine one Pass Car & one horse car. |
| I will say that I cannot give any definite
answer, as the Engines, except those that are now running, are out of
repair, and I cannot get mechanics to repair them, they being all in
Govt employ, for time I refer you to J L Briggs Esq Vice Prest |
| Yours |
| Geo B Nichols |
