a Chance to Advertise Q wyomIng's
Resources Abroad.

letter contains some hints which may be
utilized in the near future:
LEGHoRN, Italy, June -, 1891. Il. Fl.
Repath, Esq, Private Secretary to the
Governor of Wyoming-DEAR SIR: We
have your favor Of May p. 1891, and
also reports descriptive Of Wyoming, and
have carefully read the same. There Is
not the slightest doubt that Wyoming has
every probability of becoming one of the
most prosperous states in the West, aud
we rave had several enquiries from par
tics here asking for information. and we
believe that If your state made its re-
sources known in Switzerland. Italy and
Austria. capitalists aud settlers would soon
try their chances, and we should suggest
that a small pamphlet be printed in
Italian, giving tull information and we
would post and distribute them to every
part of the above mentioned countries.
1 ne Nhlf Ou plluttu malbti - S-b iNl
224 pounds.
We would advise that samples be dis
played here OF all the products OF your
state and these VIC would show to everyone.
The Canadian government has dis
tributed thousands of pamphlets here and
have reaped great benefit and as sour
climate is far superior you have every
prospect of being u1ore successful
Mr.. Handy of the Chicago exhibition
approving our suggestion has sent US a
number Of pamphlets printed in Italian
relative to the fair and which we have
sent to all influential parties.
We are the general agents in Italy for
nearly all tine American railroads and the
Transatlantic steamship lines and we have
our own line of steamers to and from
Italian ports so consequently we are in
communication with all travellers. and we
nave our agents in every port and we
could attend to Italy, Austria and Switzer-
land and we would be pleased to act as
agents for your state.
We beg You 20 place this letter before
his Excellency, Governor Barber and shall
be pleased to have his views on the
subject. We are Dear Sir.
Yours very truly,
