* Reported to Mr. Rosenberg July 9, 1877

(Note: Amounts shown in parentheses were not shown on Impression Copy of B.M. Temple's estimate. However, J.P. Fresenius' Report to Henry Rosenberg of July 9th, 1877 he gives "Cost from B.M. Temple's starting point to Belton as $1,463,571.80 and in B.M. Temple's Report of July 21st, 1877 to J. P. Fresenius he says the prices allowed in the second estimate are the same as on the first line. Using these amounts for the quantities shown, the total checks the amount reported to Mr. Rosenberg.)
