1881 Letter to Virginia & Truckee Railroad General Superintendent H. M. Yerington regarding tickets to the Reno Fair


larger image

Gold Hill Oct 7 '81
H. M. Yerington, Esq.
Carson, Nev

Dear Sir,

I am requested to inquire if there will be a train to the Reno Fair this year, and if so, what the rate will be and in case we buy tickets will you make arrangement so we can use them and go down by Sunday’s eve train, as we have to be there in the morning (Monday). If there are no reduced rates, will you be kind enough to furnish us half fare for our band? The reason we ask a reduction is we have been obliged to take the engagement so very low. You will confer a great boon by answering me by wire today.

Very respectfully
Geo W. Hall
Secty, Cora’s Band
