Edward Otho Cresap Ord letter to Collis Potter Huntington

Manuscripts

Letter from Edward Ord in Mexico City to Collis Potter Huntington. Ord writes that he had met with Mexican president Manuel Gonzalez Flores, when Ord had apparently given him a proposition relating to the railroad. The proposition appears to have related to the route of a rail line, which would be partly constructed on private land. Ord writes that he made "this communication in confidence and as a matter of duty to my employers."
