I have not had time to write you since the Doctor (Durant) arrived here. The committee have been looking over the road and fixtures also and examining accounts generally. They are well pleased. Snyder will probably be appointed superintendent of the finished road. In that event I shall be most of the time at North Platte, if I remain on the road; that will depend on letting the work.
