| Captain, |
| It is utterly impossible to get the flat
cars for you, but if you can use boxes, and I supply you cars though
somewhat inconvenient, I will try to have four turned over to you for
your disposal. I am ????? finished and if the suggestion meets with your
approval, four of them shall be reserved and sent you. You will ??? to see that they
are kept in
good repair, properly greased &c &c. |
| I am very respy &c |
