Dear Sir:
/ will be most grateful if you
will publish this letter in your
paper.
/ am at present writing a his
tory of the railroads in Central
Ohio before the Civil War. If
any of your readers should have
any manuscripts, printed pamph-
let's, annual reports or similar
source material on the subject, I
would welcome the opportunity Of
examining it. In the years before
the Civil War a great many little
local roads were organized such
as the Columbus and xenia, the
Columbus and Lake Erie, the Co
lumbus, Piqua and Indiana, the
Sandusky, Mansfield and New
ark, the Central Ohio, and many
more. Material concerning these
pioneers in the transportation
world is, unfortunately, rather
scanty. ANY information that
your readers might be able to
furnish would be warmly well
coined.
Yours very sincerely,

Frinstance, what'd her face look

you messed it up-fixed it so that
there'd be no Identification.

Who'd you haul the trunk
for?"
Igger shrugged. He'd answered
the question over and over again.
You're in trouble, Jigger."
Just for taking a trunk job!
1t could happen to any hackie."
The face blossomed into smile.
You're not just any hackie to

"Okay, the character, since you
mentioned it. Let's begin with j.

Because the Department thinks
