| Dear Sir, |
| We have yours 23d Inst & with have the
articles ready for shipment in a few days & in the meantime please
advise us if we shall forward via Augusta or await the opening of the
Western route. |
| The spikes you order are much smaller than
any heretofore required by you & will have to be manufactured
especially. |
| We are preparing to supply every article
that may be required in our land, building a new Rolling Mill &
Foundry, our chair business has been backed up for 2 or 3 months,
because of the pressing demands upon our establishment for other
purposes that would not be delayed |
| Very Truly |
| J. R. Anderson & Co. |
