trying to flimham somebody or he Is
surelya woetully conceited idiot.

railroads need, and it looks very much
like he has solved the safety appliance
and airbrake problem, then Manning
will have in the near future q citizen
who has reaped reward for his long
and persistent efforts to leave behind
him the results of his genius.
