Konnarock, Virginia, 
Dear Mr* McDaniel» 
Dr, J. J, Murray of Lexington, and I who you may 
remember were collecting birds on white Top the first week 
in June last year are planning early this summer to visit 
Mt* Rof|»rs • 
I spoke to you about this when we were there and 
you told me you thought that with one or two days work it 
would be possible to open the road from the Elk Gardens so 
that you could drive your truck up to the big bald on the 
summit of Mt, Rogers, Car you let me know what you think 
this would cost, as I should like to arrange this. We 
would expect to reach White Top some time Monday, Hay 51 
and either Jpat day or the next day arrange with you to 
take us wit! our camp equipment over to Mt. Rogers. I am 
assuming that there is water available higher- up so that 
we could make a camp there, We would expect to stay four 
or five days and then arrange with you to come back and get 
as, 
I will appreciate very much hearing from you con¬ 
cerning this. 
Sincerely yours. 
Assistant Secretary,
