WISHES are with you In your deliberations,
recognize the Importance OF your gathering
aud upon many subjects you propose 10 Gus
cuss / concur with your sentiment a. pub
lishcd especially la reference to the injustice
OF allowing the public lands 10 pass into the
possession OF companies TO the exclusion OF
pionser grazlcrx, although have become

spots in your beautiful capital have plant

hope "a peacefully spend my declining
years,
For more than u quarter OF century l
have been Identified with the cattle tradc OF
the southwest, during which time ] have
never read one thing with greater pleasure
than / did the reports of your last meeting !;
no such communion in the interest OF our
common Industry ever obtained on this con.
tinent before. Indeed l was so impressed
with the strength aud character of your so
cleiy that II suggested to me that the state
association Of Texas should become the
foundation stone OF un association OF nation.
al character. ! have cherished the hope shat
some one OF your members after the best in
tercsis of your state isearcd for would intro
duce a resolution resolving your convention
into national or even an International
body, AMI invite delegates from other states
and countries TO act with you RdJunctiyely
at your next annual meeting. This could be
done without interfering in tho least with
your state organization, and wonld be con-
ducivc TO Interest associations In other states
and territories as well as cause the organiza-
tlou of cattle associations in all of the states
interested. There is no other branch OF com
nerce that has so great nm Interchange be.
tween states rs the live stock industry, the
annual value OF which 10 the United States
amounts TO one billion of dollars, and Texas
leads the van. Therefore while my suggcs-
tiOns may seem intrusive, think that Texas
can both consistently and successfully In.
augurate some shch movement that can but
lead to good and universal results. Believ-
ing Austin o be the most appropriate place
for such genefal gathering in the early part
Of the year and again regrctting that cannot
listen 10 your deliberations, ! am very re.
speetinliy yours,
