ure to state that your invitation
to have the Texas Press Associa-
ton visit San Angelo at the close
Of the Brentwood meeting is ac-
cepted. An earlier answer would
have been given but for the fact
that I was awaiting the presi-
dents ratification of my action
in the matter, which has been
heartily given. In inviting the
Association to meet in Brown
wood, l had in mind giving the
press of Texas an opportunity of
seeing as much of this favored
part of Texas as possible, and |
am sure almost the entire body
present at Brentwood will be
glad of the opportunity of visit
ing San Angelo. | am also
pleased that your Business Club
is entering so heartily into our
plans. / have advice from Mr.
w. S. Keenan,, general passenger
agent of the Santa Fee, that his
road will lend its cooperation in
every way possible, shall come
to San Angelo as soon as can
to confer with your people and
learn their wishes. | should he
glad to meet with your Club
Monday but have an engagement
to be in Hillsboro on that date
and it may be the latter part of
next week before | can get to San
Angelo. ] think now that it is
probable that it would suit the
Association best to run up to San
Angelo the night of the 18th, ar
irving there about II o'clock,
