I have most of Robert Brown's books including the one on lines east
depots..Brown's father was agent at Batavia and he may have made some comments
regarding service there..Give me a day or two to see what I can find and I'll
post it here or send it direct.

Richard and Group-
All my resources are packed away in preparation for putting a "dejunked"
house on the market.
Can anyone in the group help Richard out?
