Philadelphia & Reading Railway 1894 Station Agent Letter Baggage Fee Accounting

This letter, written on the official letterhead of the Philada. & Reading Railway Co., is a piece of internal corporate correspondence from March 1894. The pre-printed form, marked “Form 4—No. 1” at the top left, indicates a standardized system for inter-office reporting, a practice that reveals the bureaucratic structure of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway, a corporation then heavily involved in both anthracite coal transport and passenger service across Pennsylvania.
