!?r. Kenneth Wilder,
Cit; Bank Bdg.
Bear Hr-. ’Timer, -
Nr. Johnston had not returned this morning. The last meeting of your committee extended tilings to November 7th. then Dr. Johnston failed, October 17th, to hoop his word and resign if your committee so decided, I. begun preparations for protective action, yot continually hop in,- for decisive action bj your committee. vt tho last, meeting I fixed November 7th as the limit of ny endurance, therefore-the enclo is in the hands of the printer.
.Since tlie Pineries Committee ms appointed, and until Nov. 1, >5583 7 {and maybe more) additional money. lias boon received, and feat also is gone. On top this are the Pruneis operations. None of us can'afford the criticisms these delays and indecisions will cause.	If the bank
account had boon put under control, as advised, both cash and conduct would have been c on trolled, and necessary delays would have boon less costly.	IVo	cannot always guess right, but frankly now I do not know
where tho funds arc to come from to repair those accumulating damages, with the friends of this work being rapidly exhausted.
"y loyalty to your committee'has boon amply proved, but I also owe a loyalty to myself and to the people all along this highway who have trusted mo. In addition to the moneys gone, throe years hard work in various states is being dissipated. I am getting letters continually I cannot answer properly. I too am now being made to break faith. I will probably leave San fntonio shortly.	Ho,gleet is hurting things in'
the iSast, and I am not willing those people too shall bo punished. lie west has never supported us. They have had their own organizations.
They have also supported the Bankhead and the .boo Highway associations. Just as I had built to a point where they wore ready to swing from those associations to us, Francis and his crookedness was turned loose on them.
Finally, my money; is being wasted, for while tho so thousands of dollars are being absorbed and future credit destroyed, I am footing ray-own bills. This has beon very unfair.
By judgment is you have extended to Dr. Johnston oven more consideration than oven charity could command, and that you should meet and act.. Hen of the typo of this TSxeoutivc Committee can have no confused opinions in tho face of such evidence.
Sincerely,
