Letter from John C. Fleming to Chauncey M. Depew
In response to a call for assistance by the New York Central Railroad, John C. Fleming invested a great deal of effort to create plans for better ventilation in cars. In spite of the plans being judged well suited for the company’s need, Fleming did not receive the promised award. As Senator Depew was on the board involved with awarding the prize, Fleming attempted to meet with him several times, only to be turned away. Fleming now complains to Depew about his treatment of him, and asks that the matter be settled.
