Bear Sir:
I beg to acknowledge receipt of your esteemed favor of the 30th.ulto.,and note its contents with ple.as ure and interest. It will no doubt be to our mutual advantage to co-operate as far as practicable. I do not
know what practical form such co-operation mi ht take at
P
present,however,except along the lines of burring interim	Ik	A	Drn&-	6
est asflsl attempting to procure ^building of	in
counties traversed by both highways. That really would apply.apparently,only to Mobile County,into which your hi hvvay will come from the north while ours traverses it
from oast to west.
Your highway,by the way,takes the place of the Jackson Highway that we were so much worked up over a coupl? of years ago and 11 iasissippi finally succeeded in getting away from us.Ifyou build your Highway,Montgomery MMbile,Birmingham and gelma will have all that the Js.ck-Bon Highway could have given tthem.
Wishing you success,I beg to remain
Very truly yours
