June 30, 1948 Mr. Ho C. Livingston, Vice President Union Pacific Coal Company Rock Springs, Wyoming Dear Harry: You have been so cooperative in allowing us to take visitors to your mines that it really embarrasses me to have to keep asking your permission to do this. There is a man from India by the name of B. P. Jain, who has asked that we make arrangements for him to see one of your mines on the morning of July a. · Mr. Jain is the ovmer of seven coal mines in India, all of which are on pitching seams, and he is v~ry anxious to see one of your operations. My plan' would be, of course, to have one of our men, probably P. N. Beauchamp, meet Mr. Jain at Rock Springs and take him to the mine in time to make the man trip in the morning. I think probably the best mine for him to see would be Winton. I certainly will be very grateful to you if you can arrange this for us and for Mr. Jain and hope it will not inconvenience your operation to do us this fa:vor.

Mr. Rosser came into the office October 8th and the first thing he did was ask that we send, \vb.en writing you ;, his sincere thanks for your hospitality and trouble in showing him about the mines. He intends to send his own letter of thanks on return to India. We greatly appreciate the courtesy as N~. Rosser is connected with the coal mines of Andrew Yule & Co. of India and until the outbreak of war, had nothing but Goodman coal cutting machines in their mines, and it is my belief that they had probably over 60 of these in use. They are accordingly, a very valuable and loyal cliant.
