10 Gov. Bate.

The following letter from Albert L. Rice,
OF New York, to Gov. Bate explains itself:
NEW YORK, June a. 1883
Gov. VIM. B. Bate, Nashville, Tenn:
DEAR SIR Il respectfully call your atten-
ton to matter having reference to the ma
terisl welfare of your State. You will agree
with me that the building of long lines of
railroads through your State would be of
great benefit to your people. Very often the
people are confident that the bonds would be
placed, but they know that bankers will not
advance money to build railroads, and there.
fore they do not organize, not knowing where
to 20 for funds.
I will therefore inform you that am pre-
pared to carry on the building OF several long
lines of railroads at time, and do not want
any money till sections of twenty ty-6ve or fifty
miles are built and equipped. l would de-
sire companies to place their bonds to be
cashed when sections OF twenty-five or fifty
miles are completed.
If you would give this letter to the presi
for publication no doubt it would result ir
the building up of your State. Yours re
specfully, ALBERT L. RICE.
