There Is 10 New England such places as Hinsale,
Winehesier Var,cick, and North or Old 0rGge,
and they have been surveyed TO find out the most g-
ibe route tor your Railroad from Brattleboro TO los
ton and not only surveyed but Chartered too, witwo
other routed Though strange as il may 9ur
public louruns and public notices never (f theyan
help ) even admit 1t as fact. BYsrASDf.
Now what have to say 10 you is, % bid
your road in he best, most feasible and shortest dc-
ton to Brmlcboro, ugrceably to the intention I'd
meaning fine first Ongnatofs Of that grand profit,
and with iht least possible outlay Of your capital, I'd
never move out Of the right track without suficnt
and substantial reasons. No reasonable man can dobt
but that the business Of the road may be ncfensedY
zig-zngng 10 every direction 10 the right hand ando
the left but will the great Public be saisfrdi Wat
compensation to the weary traveller TO ride TO eyy
village living near q road TO aid that particular placen
their local ac,omn.odaiionsi Every man that travis
knows foil we'll that private considerations Of or
cts will have much weight In his mind; his joufne s
end il the great object Of mis- wishes, and The neaf
route will be earnestly sought out and pursued.
Now if you build a rosd direct to Greenfield, "a
build il for & rcenield 40 not for Bratlebnro or W.
mont To build ROAD pr Brattcboto you must buI
il direeiip there; for dc Connecticut River Valg
must and will have f6al up and down that river, oil
nothing can stop it, and surely belongs to the nha-
itanls Of that valley u ud ii-not to the MassachF
sctls and Vermont con any They have accomplish

inc TO Bfatieboro aht no more was at first asked o
even thought Of, (exccing branch to Gfeenfed.)
| Why not build tiny miles up and down the rive
each way 10 increase our business, there would be
much reason in ID 10 build twenty miles, aud
would probably ince'e the business IN nearly the san

But that eor,e, if pursued, would not material
aid the up and own route. The contemplated roui
