George W. Strong, Esq.,
DcarSir:! tcgrct cxtrcir.cly that it will
nnl hp in mv nower to mcct vou, and addrcss
our Convcntion, at Rutland on thc Cth of
May. I rccl a dccp intcrcst in tnc cxicnEion
of our Fitcbburgh Rail road from Bellows
Fjills to Burlingion & Monlrcal tfecl cntirc
confidcnce that the entcrprisc will bc not on
ly profitable but cmincntly uscful to thc coun
trv it travcrscs and of more importancc to
Boston than the Wcslcrn Railroad iuclf, of
which I was a Dircctorlor lourycars.
The trade of tbo WcslernLakes arriv ing
at Albany finds at prcscnt ils ncarest, most
cxpcditious and chcapcst outlct at New
Yorfc via the Hudson, but a continuons line
of Railroad to Lake Champlain would makc
Boston the ncarest, chcapcst and bcst out
lct for hclh Vermont, Norlhern New York
and Canada, and would find ihcrc a bcttcr
markct Ihan at New York. Railroads are
constantly progressivc; and bucIi has bccn

To this I reply, thc prcscnt niomcnt i3 emin

To bcgin, now, you will not rcquirc Iron
