In conrlusion. | ifg leave 10 say thai ] am
fully aware that there II no obligation upon

For the supervisor Ia visit each county ana DO
this work himself, with such assistance rs he
might he able To get 1T the particular Tine f
such "a visit, II Is estimated ilat ~ wSnia .oi,-
sumo on an average at least two days Tor travel
ing and districting for the III counties Of the
state. Some Of the county seats are reached
only by stage coach, AS you are doubtless aware,
and these would consume more Than that amount
of time. This, Il will he seen, IL simply impos-
sibic in the light of what has been before men
toned.
In calling upon county officials Ia district their
respective counties as directed, IL II believed thai
I. Ia So doing, can safely rely upon the patriotism
Of these guardians Of the public veal and their
interest In the fair name OF the locality they rep
resent Ia the end that each county In this new
commonwealth may bc justly and properly rep
resented in The census of iS1.
without this assistance IL Is feared that your
section. owing Ia circumstances over which the
supervisor has no control and which 10 some eN-
tent have been explained, may not be thus Justly
and properly represented. Very respectfully,

Supervisor Of the Census for the District "
