2 by the said Manatt I do not know what Manatt may infer by agreeing to said said contract but if he will read his copy of contract over he will see that the co has agreed to nothing. There is no place for a depot after we leave Gass town, which is about 3 miles wet of Brooklyn until we reach the 7 miles then there is a place for a station 7.8009 miles west of Brooklyn and near your Land. about eight miles west the road passes through C W Durant Land and is a good point if they should want Depot Station on in. When I made the contract I knew very well that you could not put a station within the 7 miles Mr Manatt had the location
