"Indebtedness of the National Railways of Mexico." File No. 081 N Ry M, Part 2. From (~1"). Discussion of interline issues, mostly of money owed to SPM by NRM. The SPM was the largest railroad in Mexico not under the umbrella of the NRM, but there was considerable interaction between the two because of the regular need to ship freight and passengers across each other's lines at times. Dollar amounts being discussed aren't trivial (anywhere from several thousand dollars up to nearly $100,000). [Items 1 and 2 are both contained in a single manila folder.]

It appears that this issue was satisfactorily resolved because the Mexican government either paid up or got on an acceptable payment schedule, but not without voluminous correspondence such as this.

[no cover page; five items.] also Another probably minor thing relating to receipt by SPM of Mexican government notes (all matured) due to SPM.

[Both Items 8a and 8b in a single folder titled "Depositories / SPM 217-1."]
