Dear Sir, |
|
I have addressed you an official letter in regard to an
increase of pay on our road. Immediately after the convention in
Columbia I called upon in regard to it, but you were absent. I have
made no settlement since ??? ??? that you would do something for us.
The increase I ask is I assure you absolutely necessary for
our road if we are to continue as I have been doing in transporting
govt stores alone. I hope you will reply at once authorizing an
agreement to pay us fifty per cent additional. |
|
I was sorry not to meet you here as I feel satisfied that
after a conversation you would have without any hesitation agreed to
my terms. |
|
Please reply immediately on your return and oblige. |
|
Yrs Very Truly |
