I send you a list of special cars for Show purposes, that are wanted most urgently. Mr.Cowen is coming to see me this week in the hopes that I may be able to tell him definitely when these cars will be able to leave. He states he is most anxious about these cars, and I should like Mr.Swift to get out some statement early this week, so that we may be ready for Mr.Cowen and be able to give him some definite assurance that we shall be able to satisfy his need. Have we got erection instructions for all these cars? Have the Order Office supplied us with all material for these cars? Have the Experimental Dept. finished in such a way that we could reasonable hope to keep these dates? 5-X Paris Show.
