F.F. Barbour, Esq.,
Thompson - Houston Electric Co.
San Francisco, Calif.,

Dear Sir:-
In reply to your favor of the 10th inst. I would say that the width of the pavements on all 80 ft. streets are 14 ft., 100 ft streets, 16 ft. ; 125 ft streets, 20 ft.;

Your profiles, I think, give you the width of the streets, but fearing it does not, would say that H Street, out to where it turns onto 16th Street, is 100 ft wide. It will all be cross suspension. Turnouts will all be diamond. Cannot give lengths of curves at power house, as they have not been located yet.

November 17, 1891
Morgan Oyster Co.,
San Francisco, Calif.,

Gentlemen:-
Ship via first steamer four dozen cans fresh oysters, well iced.

Yours truly,
E. S. Babcock.
