In a letter to Charles Webster, dated June 8, 1883 and transcribed in MARK
TWAIN, BUSINESS MAN, p. 214, SLC instructs Webster to go to the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Hudson to rent a special sleeping  car to Elmira. He says he
had formerly gotten the car from Mr. A. Reasoner but he had not received a
reply yet. He writes Webster, “Go directly to the President of the road &
he will tell you how to proceed.”
