Letter
Akerman to Ernest Dichman, July 25, 1878
[Inclosure 1 in No. 23.]
Mr. Akerman to Mr. Dichman.
Illinois Central Railroad Company, President’s Office, Chicago, Ill., July 25, 1878.
Sir: I am very anxious before the next session of Congress, to be able to satisfy some of our Western Congressmen and Senators of the great importance to the West of establishing a line of steamers between New Orleans and South American ports.
To assist in doing this, I would be obliged to you if you would send me any statistics in your power relative to the trade between the United States of Colombia and this country, and any other information which you may think useful to the end I have in view.
I am, &c.,
W. R. AKERMAN.
