Major Ray encloses two clippings from the morning’s newspapers regarding the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. As he helped settle the coal miners’ strike in Illinois in 1897, Ray believes he can do some good in Baltimore. Many of the railroad conductors are known to him and since he has no “ax to grind,” Ray is certain that he could be useful.
