Your statement to hand. Will remit during the

have hoped for many years that might become a
resident of some portion of Florida. / believe if
Tallahassee would take hold in earnest a 3O-inch
gauge railroad could be built and equipped for
S2OO, 600, whose daily expenses would not be more
than $40 that would open rail communication di.
rect with the Georgia system at Thomasville doing
all the business that offered. hope to engage in
another part of the State in the construction of
2O-incA gauge road, which will demonstrate it's
practicability. G. s. BARRY.

IAN and all concerned, am very truly yours,
