Mr. S. A. LeBlanc,Seeretary,

Mobile,Ala.
Dear Mr. leBlanc:
"'veni,Vidi,Vici" would about express it?
I certainly thank you dor writing to the Governor,here, and also thank you dor including me in your recojiimendation. The Governor was very prompt.
I hope you can join the party at Washington.
Mr. Cocke,State Highway Engineer, just called. He expects to he in Washington or. husiness ,in -July and later on, so may he on hand to swell the delegation. He likes to assist and not always serve as a delegate, so for this reason I. did not suggest him for appointment,—not wishing to .embarrass him in State affairs: he has troubles of his own with road work and getting co-operation in s 'me counties,etc.
A letter from Hon. J.D.Smith,Secretary of the State Read Department,Marianna, informs that he has received his appointment from Gov. Catts and will try to go. He says:"I suppose it will he expected of everybody to pay their own expenses,-but I think some provision should be made to cover this expense in or ler to have a full delegation meet there at Washington.” I wrote him about that §2.50 per t ousand population. Have you sent out the "S.Q.S." for this? I wrote to Jax,Tampa,Miami and Pensacola,but have not received answer,yet. Will keep you posted. Thanks for copy of Governor's letter.•
We overlooked Congressman V/.J.Sears,Florida,but have sent him the same wire,signed by Gov. and CabinetCocke.
