Plummer St. Car House

[Fred W. Schneider III]

In the second floor of the library where I was filing drawings ... one drawer is
nothing but carhouse linens...did you check them for dates?   By the way, none
of the PCC drawings, car house drawings, bridge drawings, or right of way prints
have been cataloged.  Only those in the drawer containing drawings of cars
earlier than PCCs are entered into the computer.  Please leave that last group
alone until I can finish to job.
