Mr. Arthur I*. Dyer, Asst, ooe'y,
Old Spanish Trail Ass*a, for the Y/est,
Dallas, Texas.
Soar Sir:
Your letter of tho 6th in' t. received this morning.
Shanks very ntich.
When your letter arrivod 1- va;.s fooling .vory ranch "down in the mouth" about this Bulletin proposition, as 7. did not seem to he able to get the s loo I needed, and I had about	Lnd	to	next	Thursday write letter,
advising that Bulletin would be discontinued, owing- to too impossiblity of obtaining i for iron. I am awfully anxious not to ave b> aj this, beeu	>u	xaalize, the Bulletin
at orosent, sraall as it is, is one of thonouns of hooping tho idea of the "Ocean tb Ocean Highway” alive. If we can o ly k op tho ion alive a little bit longer,. sad got results tho sano rate wo have boon doing wince tho idea was started, I think tho,,idoa,,will havo become a "fact”.
'	Toma,	I	ara glad to note has designated the Old Spanish
frail for 'tr ’.to d ... .oral aid. .ilabafflB has also done this, and so has Florida. As a matter of fact, Florida has not only so :	i	'C	d,	has decided to apply toaarcln
oomplotion of tho road, Podoral aid receipts for tho first two yoars.
Sabino bottom, I noto your remarks about, and judging from sumo, it must bo a similar proposition to tho Choe-hwhat eh©•• Kivor in Florida, whoro tlioro in about a quarter pile of river and four radios ovor-flov/ land to go through. At tho Chocta-*?-hatch ®e Rivor, four eontino oonvorgo, and. botwoon tho four counties end tho Prodoral aid, thoy arc going to fix it.

Thanking you against for lot tor, and hoping: that you can give more information in the near futuro, I am ••
Yours truly,
