Dear Sir
In reply to Mr.. Eber Taylor's de-
mand that | surrender the pen with
which the Governor signed the Peru
turnpike bill to Mr.. Farnum on
account OF his having sent up re
quest for its passage in 1910,
would say that should be pleased
to do so upon an order from the
Governor, especially since | have
80 many honors nowadays that d
not know what to do with them all.
and as a half dozen unquestioned
measures OF my own, short but
sweet, went through the legislature
| could certainly afford the conces-
sion.
Another suggestion might be oil
service. No doubt but what the
Governor has lot OF extra pens
lying loose which he has worn
ont in signing so many bills and he
could send half dozen down for
brother Taylor TO distribute to whom
he pleases. especially to anyone who
has ever sent request TO any one
TO have measure passed. You
know it don't usually take anything
but request to get a bill
passed although in some unaccount-
able way /, took two sessions OF
hard fight" by those upon the
ground to get the Peru Turnpike
bill through. Much credit Is GER
tainly due your Mr.. oryis for his
earnest work In the matter Mr..
Taylor should be sure to give him
one OF the pens. perhaps two. He
did good work "all around the goal

Tending him. Pickett's courage needs
no defense. but for the benefit Of the

I belonged to Company H. Fourteenth

his cap above HIS head, as IL saluti1g

for his riding the entire front OF Ar

rode back In front OF them, which
must have taken him nearly TO the
