Transcribe Jackson, P. V. Letter to Ward, Henry A (1876-10-23)

as to the Railroad freight. You will see from letter enclosed (from C. C. Hansel Omaha) that the rate over the Union Pacific will be 3. cts per lb. & C.C.Hansel & co. in whose care the boxes are shipped, will secure as low a rate as possible from there to Rochester. I have advised him of the shipment & also of what the charges would be from Sterling to Sterling Ogden (the terminus of the U. P. road)

(20)        -            The freight from here to Virginia City was $20.00
        -            From Virginia City to Franklin, as per freight

      -             the Utah Northern roads; & Geo Kennedy of

I have written Mr. Kennedy at Franklin, on weighing the boxes. to mark the weight, plainly on each. so that the railroads shall not charge for over weight.

  Preserve C.C. Hansels letter & when you

settle for the freight. Should the Union Pacific over charge, it can be gotten back - Hansel is reliable:
