| Dear Sir, |
| Not seeing you again in Brenham I
addressed you a note and dropped it in the Post Office which I hope you
received. |
| In which I said that I had given a like
memorandum to the Hon. F B Taylor Y had requested him to consult you
on the
subject
, thinking you might infer that I did not desire you to act on the
matter until Mr. Sextons ??ual and it occurring that he will not take
his seat until late in
February
I address you now with the hope that you will as soon as it is in your
power to do so, give your attention to the matter, as it is all
important that our Road shall have the Iron speedily. |
