Letter from Joseph Locke to S B Worthington requesting a report upon the condition of the Lancaster & Preston railway line

Locke encloses a 'string of defects said to exist on the Lancaster & Preston line' (not included in item) and asks Worthington to walk carefully over it and report back to him what he thinks of the state of it. Includes a postscript explaining that a Mr Gregson’s assistant will call upon Worthington for the purpose of ascertaining the day on which he intends to examine the line, so that he may accompany him
