LETTER FROM RAILROAD PRESIDENT
New YORK, June 10, 1872.
Samuel j. Anderson ESQ.,, President Port
land & Ogdensburg Railroad
Sir.-I take great pleasure in placing upon
record the testimony of ithis company as to the
character of Mr.. fernando A. Fuller He
came to us about three years since with the
highest recommendations. The contract made
with us involved the expenditure of nearly three
millions of dollars, embracing every class of
work required in the construction of first-rate
railroad. We have found him to possess all
the prudence, sagacity and comprehensive
judgment necessary for such an enterprise, in
an unusual degree, coupled with entire fidelity
and integrity. He enjoys to-day so far as I
know, the full confidence both of employers
and employed, a fact which speaks well for his
sense of justice towards all with whom he has
business relations L regard him as superior i'm
his peculiar profession of railroad contractor to
any one with whom L have been brought in
contact and believe that any company requir-
ing such service will be fortunate in securing
him. JULIUS HI. PRATT.
President of Montclair Railway Co.
