early associations our arcn1recrurHI
visions are nn1 Just what those Of some
other people are, and I an not going
tt pass Hpun the architectural scheme
Or beauty Of Ibis mansion. This State

accspt II fur = specific pu-pose-e
hume fnr the future governors az the
State: and Of course II became necss-
sH-y 20 PUT II into condition where
II could be USED for these uurpnsss.

20 know how much has been exneuded
dc not think the Governor and Cuun-
eli would try ID cover I'D any Of these
