On Motions for Rehearing and to Correct Opinion.
The motions of the appellant, Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf Railway Company of Texas, and United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company, for rehearing, have been carefully considered, and, because we are of opinion that all questions presented by them have been correctly disposed of, they are overruled. In disposing of the railway company’s seventh assignment, however, relating to the admission of an instrument termed a “service letter,” we incorrectly stated that “the execution of this letter by defendant was sufficiently proved,” and the railway company has filed a motion asking that the opinion of the court in this respect be amended and corrected. This motion will be granted. It does not appear that the letter referred to was executed by the defendant railway company, appellant here, but the proof is sufficient to show that it was executed by the Texas & New Orleans Railway Company, or by its authority ; and, this being true, it was properly admitted in evidence, for the reason stated in our original opinion.
The motions for rehearing are overruled. The motion to amend is granted.
