 CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILWAY CO.
Lexington, Ky., March 12, 1904
Messrs. E. U`. Spears & Sons, A
Paris, Ky,
Gentlemen:-
we sent you this morning another furniture car to Thomson, I found
that the reason the car started to Thomson last week was not left there, was account
of the agent having no orders from your Mr. Prewitt for the car, but as the weather
· has been very unfavorable for load ng, I take it that the car which we sent this morn-
I ing will answer the purpose all right,
Would also beg to advise that we gave to the Cincinnati Southern yesterday
afternoon C & O 1778, billed to you at Paris for loading with Navy Yard hemp, Kind-
ly instruct your agent when the car is loaded, to bill same care of the C & O at °
Cincinnati for forwarding via Blue Ridge Despatch.
we wish to thank you very much for this car, and trust that our services
are such as to enable you to give us another car in the early future.
Ymwstmdy, ¤
