LS signed “Geo. W. Pullman,” two pages, 7.75 x 10.25, Pullman’s Palace Car Company letterhead, January 18, 1881. Letter to a general manager at Union Pacific Railroad. In part: “If the question was simply the issue of a pass to your General Passenger Agent, the request would be granted at once…unfortunately there is a precedent involved that would prove quite serious to this Company. I can explain by stating to you what occurred to me only last week. Cable of the Rock Island said that his Genl. Passenger Agent claimed that we issued Annual Passes…I was able to state truthfully that we issued no annual passes to any Genl. Passenger Agents.” Light toning and filing holes to left side, and office stamps and notations to the top, otherwise fine condition. An interesting letter discussing his successful business. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
