| Sir, |
| The enclosed papers explain themselves and I have no
doubt you will appreciate the importance of having reliable and
experienced men to c?? amounts involving such large sums as are paid to
railroad companies. I am satisfied to leave the matter to your good judgment
feeling satisfied that whatever is best for the interests of the govt.
you will recommend. |
