Since the current advertisement (enclosed) outlines the situation in 
some detail, I shall not attempt to cover it in this letter. However, 
I believe you will agree that the railroads of this country need the 
services of "a new and efficient sleeping car operating company that 
can, and will buy sleeping cars competitively in quantity and service 
them economically." Otherwise, the average sleeping car passenger 
will have a slim prospect for a comfortable ride in a car equipped 
with modern conveniences and improvements. 
It has often been demonstrated that the public can have anything it 
wants — if it makes its position clear. The public certainly did make 
its position clear on through sleeping car service and the Black Market 
in Pullman space. 
We hope and believe the public will be equally clear in its demand for 
modern sleeping cars at reasonable cost for all railroads that need them. 
Your newspaper editor, I am sure, will be as interested as I will be in 
any comments or suggestions that you may care to offer. 
Very truly yours.
