iiiy dear Mr. Ayres'-
I enclose a letter and my reo1y to same, hich please return to me. I enclosed to Mrs.Pruitt one of your booklets on the 1'r ail (with color cover) and hope she will change her mind about boosting the "Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway". The United States must remain loyal and support the Old Spanish Traill	Do	get	her	converted	to the Trail,and if
Tyler is not too far from your city, can you not run out there and line up the lady(?) and the oeople in favor of the Trail?	'.fa	never	I	have	the	chance,
I will "swat" these people.
Am glad that you got Men Goodson set straight abjjgut highway matters in this section. Good work I	I	have	been	ill.	for-	some	days, —up a
few days and down again, but will soon take up what you suggested and try to get some of the Forth .Florida newspapers to print what I will send re. the Trail,
I wish you could send something to the Havana,Florida olub,--to President F.P.Haviland(not to Secretary Tillis), and get them to call a mgoting and put new life into their club. President aviland was here,a few days ago, and stated that L’r.Til 1 is had been too busy to call any meetings and interest is lagging. Do not mention that J. have suggested this,please; but you might fix up some kind of a "reviver"(?). If you can keen Havana going, it will help. I '-.'ill do what I can,too. With best wishes, I am,
V e r y tr u 1 y y o ur s,
