Mr. D. W. Rider,
Supt, Kansas City Belt R’y Co.,
Kansas City, Mo.

Dear Sir:

Reply to your letter of Oct. 7 has been prevented by absence of both Col. Hecker and myself. Early in the month Col. Hecker sailed for India where he intends to spend the winter, and I am only just home from a three weeks’ absence in the east. I shall forward your letter to the Colonel, and he will doubtless answer you personally.

I am pleased to learn that business is improving in this look, and it now looks as if the next year would be a very active one.

Respectfully yours,
C. L. Freer
