My dear Doctor Herrera:



In continuation of our former correspondence I am happy to inform you that I have recovered from my temporary illness and am back at my desk.  This morning I had the pleasure of an interview with Mr. H. H. Gray, Division Freight Agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and we hope by next Thursday to have palced at our disposition a car, either an empty car of the Southern Pacific Railway, or pereferably, if we can get it, one of the Mexican Railways cars, upon which we then proposed to load the thirty-six boxes and shop them to you by the Pennsylvania Railroad to Cincinnati; from Cincinnati to New Orleans to Alice by the lines of the Southern Pacific Railroad in Lousisiana and Texas; and from Alice to Laredo, the frontier, over the Texas Mexican Railway. 



Senor Cabrera, according to your communication, 6.70 5627, dated August 16, 1929, has given orders to the railway authorities at New Laredo, Tamps.  to receive the car at New Laredo and forward it free of transportation charges to its destination.



I shall telegraph you as soon as the car is loaded its initials and its number so that if necessary additional instructions may be forwarded by Senor Cabrera to the officials at Neuvo Laredo.  Of course a bill of lading will be made out in proper form and a copy of it will be dispatches to you.
