John n. Parsons Esq. .-Mecha uics-
vile. Md.-Dear Sir On my return
from New York to-day. I found Jour let
ter OF the 18th inst. THANK you for your
friendly expressions. and for the in,eres,
you manifest for our Road. aud il is due
to you and the people Of your county tina.
should state thc reasons Why We are in.
duced to suspend work on the preseu. line
Of operations at the point where Mr. Thorn.
ton is at work
We are undetermined whether We shall
pursue that line. or adapt that along the
three-no,ched road. have directed our
engineer to make as early report as pos
sible Of the comparative advantages and
expense Of each route. so that we may be
able without delay to determine which We
shall adopt
A large force is at work towards Bran
DIVINE Station. pressing the grading as
fast rs possible to that point on, the Bal,i-
more and Potomac Road. with a view to
commence laying the ties aud rails at as
early period a: possible. The grading
is also progressing under competent force
in the lower part of your county. and while
We are at all times DESTROYS Of consulting
the views and wishes Of the people of the
county. you will readily see that the in
tcrests Of the Company cannot be disrc-
garded.
There are very strong arguments in ia
vor Of both lines, from the point at which
Mr.. Thornton is at work to our work in
the lower end Of the county. aud tho course
We ought to pursue in view Of the inter-
csts Of the Company. can only be determ-
ined BY actual examination into their REL
alive merits. We are therefore compelled
to stop at the point indicated to enable US
to defect our line to the three notch road.
should it be deemed necessary.
l do not think that any rejecting per-
son can now have the sligh,e., apprehen-
sion as to the progress Of our work. or
who can for one moment doubt the wis
dom and propriety Of the endorsement
which your County Commissioners have
given to Us. Tho very large expenditures
already incurred is n guaranty that the
interest Of the Company imperativcly de-
mands that the work shall b. finished.
1t does seem to me that those who can
not clearly see all this must be sadly ig-
norant Of the most obvious motives that
must control men Of even ordinary bust
ness capacity.
No one has greater respect than have
for Mr.. Thornton ~ . thoroughly ener.
getic and reliable contractor. His course
since he has been in the service Of the
Company has met my appreciation.
l deem it proper to say this to correct
any impression. il any exist. that the &C.
ton Of the Company had the sligh,cs.
reference to him.
Very respectfully yours.
