Dear Sir -
Sometime since you promised me that you would give the Pittsburgh & Western a good share of your business to and from the lakes. Lately there has been a very large falling off in your trade it being diverted to the other lines.
As the Pittsburgh & Western is a struggling road, and knowing your kindly feeling toward it and your friends in Pittsburgh who are largely interested in it, I write to ask if you will not please use your good endeavors toward giving us some of the ore shipments now coming forward
