Mr J. E. Tooke |
| Marshallville |
| |
| Sir, |
| I have read your letter of the 4th inst. |
| A railroad train will go down for wood on
Wednesday, the day after tomorrow, as already arranged and I will make
every exertion to have the next of the wood hauled as rapidly as
possible by the Railroad Co. |
| You will of course not be held responsible
under your contract for any delay which may be caused by the Railroad
Company. |
| As regards the occupation of the switch at
Marshallville I have already told you personally that the Railroad
Company does not wish you to deliver your wood alongside the switch but
will receive it anywhere on the main line (a little above or a little
below the switch,) so that there is no difficulty on this score. |
| If you find any other difficulty in
putting your wood upon the cars, let me know, and I will see the
Superintendent of the R/R with regard to the matter. |
| I am, Sir, |
| Respectfully &c |
| J W Mallet, Capt. |
| Supt. C. S. Laboratories |
