Dear Sir--Referring to your letter

poving the seyice between Selma and

to advise that after going into this
matter very. carefully we find that the
conditions under which our passenger
trains Nos. 20 and 80 known as the

our operating q sleeping car line be-
tween Selma and the East on these

ma the very best service possible. we
are arranging. beginning at an early
date, to put on some additional train
service between Wilton and Admission.
which In connection with our present
trains Nos. 81 and 20. will give Selma
q close connection with the Birming-
ham special at Admission for the East.
as well as receive equally as close
connection from the returning Birm.
ingham Special No. 20 at Admission
from the East, eli Of which we, think
will be most advantageous TO Selma.
This arrangement gives Selma addi-
tional train facilities to and from that
part Of our line between Wilton and
Admission.
81 would fudther state that we have
and under consideration the request OF
your people that we should operate q
local train from Thomasville into Sell
ma in the morning and return in the
evening, the same. character of service
which we are now affording Selma from
Meridian. Akron and Wilton. and while
we. would like very much to meet the
views OF your people on the Thomas
Vile situation, the general conditions
now surrounding us do not admit of
our affording this additional service"
