De ar Sir : -

Your telegram received this af ternoon.

As I said in my

telegram to you, you r carri age, by mi sunderst anding
was shipied to Westfield, Co nn .

.c1.

t this of fice,

I tel e graphed ..,,_ immediately

upon receiving your telegram to stop carriage and re-ship it to

you .

We regret this mistake , but you will re member at the time

you gave d irections merely to

W
estfield .

As I personally had

rece ived none of your correspondence, I did not know that tho
carriage should not have gone to Westfield, Conn .

At the time,

if I re membe r, I had in my mind that you wer e from Newport, R. I .
and in some way connected that with

W
estfield, Conn .

Upon re-

ceiving your telegram I saw it was dated Westfield, Mass . and
then knew· of my mistake .

The bill cf 12.ding a t the time of ship-

merit was sent to you at Westfield, Conn .

The ext ra freight

charges, of course, we do not expect you to pay, we shall

be

only too glad to st rai ghten this matter out to your entire satisfaction , if that is possible .
You;-- letter of the 20th, inquiring f'or kit for mending punc- tured tires a t hand .

I 1·egret to say that we have no kit for thi s

purpose, but suggest a cement made b~r the Ela.s t ic Tip Company,

370 .Atlantic Avenue , Boston, ::.1..s being very good f'o1· this purpose .

[more info and photo to be added] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PDF file provided here contains the correspondence saved by Mr. Cooley, from the initial contact with F.O. Stanley to the sale of the car. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is said that the Locomobile caught fire shortly after being purchased by its second owner (a mechanic), destroying the car. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A similar 1899 Locomobile is in the Henry Ford Museum. &lt;a href="https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digital-collections/artifact/86756/#slide=gs-214672"&gt;CLICK HERE&lt;/a&gt; to view that car.</text>
