BRISTOL, VA, Sept. 10, 1911.
Dear Sir;-A party of engineers and
officials of the Bristol-to- W ashington
Highway Association, leaving Bristol
in automobiles October End, expect to
arrive at Woodstock at 10 O'Clock on
the morning of October It'll.
This association was organized for
the purpose of promoting a national
highway between Washington and
Bristol and connecting in this city
with the highway now building across
the State of Tennessee to Memphis.
We believe that Virginia is certainly
capable of doing what Tennessee has
already done, and our mission is to
preach the doctrine that the State of
Virginia and her people never play
second fiddle to any community.
There are only few broken links
between Washington and Bristol and
in these we will do some missionary
work. Our understanding is that your
county has excellent roads and your
only trouble is maintenance. But we
would like to have our engineers AND
good road advocates meet with your
people about 1890 O'Clock on the
morning of October It'll if you feel
like you would like to hear them ex-
plain our plans. Yours truly,
WM. RUNNELS,
Secretary-Treasurer.
Our people ere much interested in
good roads and will be glad to listen
ty any suggestions from the Highway
