it will be necessary to close the bridge to travel for several days while the work is being done, as it will be impossible to work men on the upper cords of the bridge to ajust same, while the tranvel is continued.
Hoping that the above proposition will meet with your favorable consideration, we are,
Yours very truly, L. S. Leversedge & Son
