[no cover page; five items.] also Another probably minor thing relating to receipt by SPM of Mexican government notes (all matured) due to SPM. Strange thing is that the dollar amount is so high and the discussion so cavalier; dollar amount is more than U.S. $4 million. [Both Items 8a and 8b in a single folder titled "Depositories / SPM 217-1."]

"Indebtedness of the National Railways of Mexico." File No. 081 N Ry M, Part 2. From (~1"). Discussion of interline issues, mostly of money owed to SPM by NRM. The SPM was the largest railroad in Mexico not under the umbrella of the NRM, but there was considerable interaction between the two because of the regular need to ship freight and passengers across each other's lines at times. Dollar amounts being discussed aren't trivial (anywhere from several thousand dollars up to nearly $100,000). [Items 1 and 2 are both contained in a single manila folder.]
