| Dear Sir, |
| I have waited several days for your return
to ??? with you for the use of twelve flat cars and regret your
absence ??? ???. |
| I am ??? ?? if you ??d have I could work a satisfactory
??? agreement with you for them, and would wait your
return but for the necessity for me to get the cars as early as
possible. May I beg of you to send down word to Mr P??es to turn them
over to me? If you should have to work any portion of your road I have
saved four boxes that I could let you have. |
| Be pleased to give this your immediate
attention and oblige. |
| Yours Very truly |
