1919101154<p>Upper Montclair New Jersey July 29 1919. 1919. Very good. - Over 190 words penned on 2 sides of folded 6-7/8 inch high by 10-3/4 inch wide "Oakwood Avenue Upper Montclair New Jersey" stationery. Luis Jackson the Erie Railroad Company's traffic extension commissioner writes to Otto Francis Boyer of the J.B. Pond Lyceum Bureau that he'd had grandiose dreams after talking with him "Referring to my last weeks visit to you about lecturing on the Railroad Situation; while in the building I saw your sign and visions of an auditorium with five thousand persons in it." But the reality was that Boyer was considering much smaller venues "I have fully considered the matter of talks at luncheons of Chambers of Commerces which would reimburse me only for my traveling expenses and have decided that it is not worth while." He does does remain open to speaking on Railroad or Export trade subjects if special occasions present themselves. Signed "Luis Jackson". The Pond Bureau's stamp indicating that they have answered the letter is stamped at top left and Jackson's name has been typed at both the top and bottom. There are stab holes along the left edge by which the letter was attached to an enclosed 4-page reprint of the Montclair Times August 24 1918 interview with Luis Jackson titled "Mr Jackson's Visit To South America: Being an Account of a Trip Covering a Period of Eight Months Through Brazil Uruguay Paraguay Argentina Chile Bolivia and Peru". The 13 inch high by 11 inch wide newspaper offprint reports on Jackson's railroad travels on behalf of the Erie Railroad Company. Folded with tears along the edges of the fold and several stab marks by which it was attached to the letter which have caused some loss to a few words. Very good together with a retained copy of the Pond Bureau's reply.</p><p>The Railroad man Luis Jackson 1856-1927 performed traffic work for western railroads. He organized the industrial department for the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway in 1891 serving as industrial commissioner for that railway. Jackson then served as industrial commissioner for the Erie Railroad and subsequently as their Traffic Extension Commissioner. He was the author of the 1900 pamphlet "A Brief History of the Growth of the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway: and of the Development of the Territory Through Which It Runs".</p> Upper Montclair, New Jersey, July 29, 1919.
