My dear Mr.Allen: 7
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 28th.

It is very disturbing to note the service you had over
our line . In the first place, our Kansas City office wrote me a
letter on January 22 that you were passing through Des Moines ,
but said nothing in regard to your return trip. A representative
of this office was on the platform on your arrival. We did not know
who was in charge of the party. He talked to one or two of your
men, but, anfortunately, he did not happen to contact you e

Nothing was said in regard to the return move and we really
knew nothing about it until the following day, the 25th; and the
only thing we were able to get at that time returning was three
sections.

Mr.King exchanged the tickets at the depot, and I hope
you did get more space after the train arrived .

I am forwarding your letter, together with a copy of this
letter, to Mr.P.W.Johnston, General Passenger Agent, Kansas City ,
who has charge of Lawrence, as well as Kansas City .
