Mr. Harral Ayres,

She Old Spanish Trail,
San Antonio,
ly doar Mr. Ayres:
t
I thank you for your letter.
;
-	My	investigations of the Old
San Antonio road have not covered a vide territory nor a long duration of time.However,I will put in writing what I have seonyalthough you may know it already,especially since it is confined to the vicinity of San Antonio.
The best markings j. have found of the road begin at Hew Braunfels avenue at the V/.0.7/. hospital,and run due westward in continuation of their macadam road.The old ruts are well marked there. Especially interesting are the ruts that go to the graded yard of a large Spanish house of recent construction and come out on the west side.The road follows a clearly defined route around the /West Texas Military Academy hill,but the hill as it dips down toward the Clmos creek shows several roads ,alleonverging at the bottom of the hill.Prom there I have followed through an old ford of the creek a winding road that took a comfortable jack’s jog up the side of the bluff to the winding road of the Mark. Hillsestate s.
Prom there I understand it followed in the vicinity of HcCollough avenue to San Pedro park.
t
There is a puzzle at the bottom of the 7/est Texas hill in that the road seems to trend toward oh® that leads to the west entrance of the present Olmos dam,and there may have been two fords.There may have been one or two farther north.	/
An interesting road turns abruptly southeastward from the convergence at the bottom of the '.Vest Texas hill.It runs in a deep cut up the hill to one of the streets that leads to the Alamo Heights school.
