bend the Legislature will never extend it north
over the ground covered by the other while that
exists; SO that the reconnaissance of the space
between Burlington and Canada line with that
view, which you say is about to be made by your
citizens, can be postponed for the present, and
the expense saved; though the friends OF the
Montpe er route will JOIN in the expense, and
thank them too, to perform the service as soon
AZ may be, for their benefit.
With the advantages enumerated, can there
be any doubt that the Montpelier route would be
regarded with most favor by the Boston capital
lists indeed by any capitalists.
Without mentioning other considerations,
will conclude this hasy communication by ask
ing whether enough has not already been sug.

joining the friends OF the Montpelier route ii
