Dr. Sir:
Complying with your request in letter if the 13th I send herewith the 
information desired.  I have made yje two statements which you can arrange
to suit your convenience.  The Wabash Railway and the Wabash Western will
probably be soon consolidated and become one road.  Some minor changes
have been made but they are occurring every day, and no statement
would be entirely correct.  If anything further is desired, I would 
be pleased to do what I could to assist you.  The statement does not
include trestle openings of one span only.
Yours truly
W.C. Lincoln
Chief Engineer
