in the building Of q road to connect at Elkton,

from this shore, but they turned deaf ear, and
Philadelphia came forward and built the Della.

short were easily built, she now secures the
Eastern Shore and Delaware trade. We would
much rather pAtronire Baltimore, being our me

our people, and her actions speak for her, We
must go to Philadelphia, who does desire 1t.
