Letter from James Frederick Woodman, 5 January 1893

Salt Lake City, Utah, W. Woodruff, Esq., Prest. Zion's Saving & Trust Co. Dear Sir: The G. S. L. & H. S. Ry. Co., has determined to extend its line east to the Chalk Creek and Grass Creek coal fields, (near Coalville) with a branch to Ogden—also south to the smelters, and west to Deep Creek mining regions. For that purpose, we are negotiating for funds with parties in Europe. These parties desire the opinions of leading bankers and financiers of this City, concerning the present status of this Company, the prospects and stability of the proposed extensions. Will you kindly, therefore, favor me with your views, and also give your opinion of the commercial standing of the officers and directors of this Company, viz Jas. F. Woodman, Prest. O. J. Salisbury, Vice Prest. John Beck, Josiah Barnett, Hon. J. L. Rawlins, Hon. David Stoker, J. J. Daly. Very Respectfully J. F. Woodman
