To Thomas Brown, Esq.,
Gen'l Supt., W. & A. L. R. W. Co., Winnipeg, Canada.
Sir: Your favor of the 31st ulto. was duly received and contents noted.
I call your attention to the enclosed mem. from our Car Accountant, which shows that we have but seven of your cars now on our road; of these but three are bad cases, Nos. 28437, 34516, and 28873. One of these cars was crippled, and is in the shops; the other two are loaded with wheat consigned "to order."
