Mr. Yerington

Dear Sir:

If you will notify the P[ost] O[ffice] D[epartment] of the extension of your road to Reno and ask for an extension of service from Carson to Reno it will be ordered and I will then ask for the appointment of a route agent. I cannot move till you make the application for the extension.

Respectfully
Alfred Barstow
Asst. Supt. R[ailway] M[ail] S[ervice]

Reno Sept 15, '72
