completion of our railroad to Marshall.
1t is to this purport: they propose
taking up the iron used for the road

it 10 us to add to ours, which it is
believed would be sufficient together

the connection with the Marshall
road. This is generous offer, and
one which, in our opinion, should he
accepted il we ever intend to complete
our portion.
The iron so loaned is tn be returned
