Since the current advertisement (enclosed) outlines the situation in some detail, I shall not attempt to cover it in this letter. However, I believe you will agree that the railroads of this country need the services of "a new and efficient sleeping car operating company that can, and will buy sleeping cars competitively in quantity and service them economically." Otherwise, the average sleeping car passenger will have a slim prospect for a comfortable ride in a car equipped with modern conveniences and improvements. It has often been demonstrated that the public can have anything it wants -- if it makes its position clear. The public certainly did make its position clear on through sleeping car service and the Black Market in Pullman space. We hope and believe the public will be equally clear in its demand for modern sleeping cars at reasonable cost for all railroads that need them. Your newspaper editor, I am sure, will be as interested as I will be in any comments or suggestions that you may care to offer. Very truly yours, Robert L. Young.
