Letter from C.N. Lord, Baltimore to Samuel Holmes, Wall Street, New York

Copy letter (in Robert Young’s hand). Thank you for the letter which was an answer to the letter sent to John Wesley Hackworth, England; no question in his mind that Hackworth was the inventor of the blast pipe; Hackworth’s place in the World’s Columbian Exposition; arranges for Pangborn, who is in charge of the exhibit to meet Samuel Holmes. Referenced in Robert Young, Timothy Hackworth and the Locomotive (London: Locomotive Publishing Company, 1923), p. 375.
