Southern, Western, and Midland. These Railroads would connect the great agricultural, grazing, and manufacturing districts, with a proximity to trade, like a single community.
These Railroads would extend agriculture and manual labour, and send forth the produce of the soil, the loom, and the factory, to the best markets, at a third of the former expence, and by giving cheapness extend consumption, to the benefit of all.

I have the honour to be,
My Lords and Gentlemen,
Your devoted and faithful servant,
N. W. Cundy.
