Dear Mr. LeBla.no:
How I wish you were near enough for ne to tell you my troubles. I am sure that you can imagine my temper, when I tell you that Mr. Watt has at the last moment thrown down the trip to ^isrri and has sent me a letter from Birmingham, just received, resigning as President of this Club. He was to leave for Miami about the 9th. On the 8th,he went to Jacksonville or. his own personal business, and to my repeated telephone calls at his home,to know when he would return, have been informed, by his wife that he was expected back on the night train, or the noon train, and day after day this has been the song. His friend v/ired me Friday morning that he could not send his car,although he had donated it,weeks ago. I then wired to F.0.Miller,Jax. to try to get a car to make the trip and we would send a speaker from here. He wired he was not able to get onejmessage received after supper Friday. This noon's mail brought Mr. Watt's resignation, with the further announcement that he is removing, from this city. I am more than sorry--! am angry and disgusted, beyond words to express my state of mind. If I could leave, would find some way to get to Miami;but have to keep things moving here,now. Advance registrations number five,as per enclosed Memo. Mr. Barker sent list of 25 delegates he has appointed for Hew Orleans . Mr. Bouslog has appointed 3. Pensacola expects to send several. Miami Motor Club will try to be well represented. Invitations and letters have been sent to all South I'la- newspapers and all the addresses I could get,in addition to the 76 commercial chubs in State. Will compile letters of regret,so you can read them at the Convention,if you so desire* Rooms for President Pillans and yourself have been reserved at the Leon Hotel, as guests of this Club. Try to arrive at 1:55 P.M.Thursday?
I v/ill have to be at hotel at registration booth,as some
