In my Judgment. the very best was made |
OF the opportunity for advertising the re- /
sources OF Nebraska, and e should afford |
general satisfaction to the citizens OF your |
section TO know that the representation at |
tracted a remarkably lot OF attention. The |
dom o,Ol indeed r that better results suit are at
tanned by a state than were achieved by
the executive commissioner in charge here.

results to your state will be so direct and
satisfied with the money thus expended.
