Dear "r. Scott:-
I have yours of the 3rd clclosing the letter addressed to me under date of April 20th in which you request tl le use of the cut of the Old Spanish Trail.
Although you have written me several times •and in fact, I get a great deal of mail, the postal employees do not always get letters to me that are addressed simply to Los ngeles ithout y sti jet address, naturally tilin’' as you do, flat they should know better than to return their, to seniors but 1 have not boon able to convince the culprits of :y importance on this sphere. ..11 they cry is that there are 650,000 people besides myself using this post office and that as T have a street address I should have it plac' d on letters sent r-n.
ni:.e cut *r. Le blame has is the property of this 'nsoointion and the'only reservation made in its use is that it he not used for cor nercial purposes so if you will respect this injunction I rill be ~l"d to sco it used t o further publicity of our ighway. ’■ e do not enre to 3mve anyone use the Old .'•parish, 'brail's popularity as a roans of making money for some designing individual and you readily rill see the .iusticc in this idea..
Col. :d flotcber writes t .at he hopes to be down south soon. I think he Is goin; to ' as] lngton and will arrange to spend some time in Florida on route.
It does not now appear as though I will be able to get there in time for your celebration, 'awards arc being wade for ry time farther west but be assured that by fall I will come to you and stay longer than would be possible wore I to come sooner.
bit!' continued good wishes, 1 remain,
:' ineerely yours,
