Mr. White received the following re-
ply:
Troy, March 70, le0>,
r wHirs, North Bennington
have nothing TO communicate with reference to
connection could not get interview with the Rens
seleer Saratoga people yesterday. VIII advise you
as early as possible, Have inst acted ourmen TO
state line only. CIV MosIEY.
This is all the correspondence have
had as TO connection, mud / have had
no personal interview with any of tn
officers Of the Troy q Boston Co, ex-
cept with Mr. Moseley as heretofore
stated, and had no doubt but we were
to have a connection Of some kind, un.
til received the letter from Mr.. Nose
ley of March Odd although i heard
rumors that the officers of the Troy &
Boston Co had made statements to the
effect that no arrangements were made
for connection.
/ know my counsel understood that
connection was to be made,
and i had no doubt of it, al
though / did not expect one that
would be of much advantage to our
road thought it might afford some
relief to the business community until
our new road was completed.
1t cost me over $4,000 to lay the
track to the state line, and all the iron
| want to haul to the state line (less
than 300 tuns) ! could haul with teams
from Troy for less than one tenth Of
that sum. No one will believe / would
have laid track to TIE State line if |
had not fully believed We were to have
connection Of some kind. / have
stated all the facts bearing on the con-
nection within my knowledge and
have no doubt my statements will be
fully corroberated by Judge Prout,
Messrs Reynolds & Phelps and Mr..
Moseley, so far as they relate to CONVEX
satlons with them.
The track has been down ready for
business since Saturday the 2lst, but
Madam Rumor" says we have been
fooled, and are to have no connection,
except to haul off the wood of the Troy
q Boston Co.
1t will be seen that | have done all in
my power to get any kind of connec-
ton, and if we do not get any, have
been grossly deceived, and have been
to the expense Of laying the track to
the State line over which no business
is to be done except to haul the wood
Of the Troy & Boston Co.
All the contracts made with the Troy
& Boston Co. are subject to the perusal
Of any one, or you are welcome to them
for publication.
