I think that you have a delete key.

However, in one of my student's papers which I was grading last night, I
found a reference that four horses could pull a wagon bearing one ton
about 12 miles in a day over unpaved turnpike-type roads in early
nineteenth century New York State. The same four horses on a towpath
could draw a 100 tons of freight on a canal boat about double that.
