Dear Sir:-

Yours of even date, stating that you are now ready to
ship the geological specimens from Turner's Falls, and shall need
for that purpose two box cars and one flat with high movable
side-boards, and that you can begin to load as soon as any of the
cars are ready, and also that you would like to have the cars
left on the charcoal track opposite Starins Line, Brewery Street,
duly received, and in reply beg to say that the two box cars can
be readily furnished at Turner's Falls, but we have no flat cars
with high movable side-boards; all our side-boards are stationary,
and cannot be taken off very well. We can however send you a flat
or stake car, which you can arrange by putting in your stakes and
boards against them so as to make such a car as you desire without
very much trouble. We will therefore instruct the Agent at
Turner's Falls to get two box cars and one stake car, to be held
for you to load, and I will ask him to advise me at once how soon
he can have the cars ready for you, and will give you the infor-

mation as soon as I get it from him. As to leaving the cars on
the charcoal track opposite Starins Line, Brewery Street, I pre-
sume we can place the cars there without any difficulty.

Yours truly,
