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.

Fleming now complains to Depew about his treatment of him, and asks that the matter be settled.
