agent at Paris for our equipment, and advise us when you
have done so, we will do everything possible to have your

Dear Sirs: pile B—2705-F
Referring to recent conversation with you
regarding delivery of hemp at the Navy Yard at Boston.
We took this matter up further with our New
England Freight Agent at Boston, and to-day have his
reply advising that he has since ascertained that there
is no switch alongside of the warehouse in the Navy Yard
where this hemp is to be stored, and that it will cost
60 cts per ton cartage from cars inside the Navy Yard
to this store—house. He advises that the cheapest way
to handle this business would be to have it carted direct
from the Fitchburg Division Terminal of the B. & M.R.R.
to the store house, as this would cost 80 cts per ton,
or l0 cts per ton less than the combined switching and
cartage charge of 50 and 60 cts per ton.
He further advises that these charges are the
same via all lines. The charge above quoted is obtained
from A,A.R0we & Son, General Forwarders, and in case
shipments are made, Mr. Howe would be glad to have the

hemp billed in his care, so that he will receive prompt
notice upon arrival at Boston, and thus be embled to
handle the business with the best possible dispatch.
“ We would certainly be very glad to have you
favor us with this business, and have you advise us
if possible, when shipments will commence to move.
