Mr. John A. Slakemore, 
Abingdon, Virginia* 
Dear Mr. Rl&kenore j 
In reply to yours of April 20 I received a letter 
from Me Denial yesterday telling me that the Forest Super¬ 
visor had agreed to open the road up Jit* Rogers by the 
end of Kay and that if this were not done he would see to 
the matter himself. 
You have been very kind in keeping this matter in 
mind • 
Dr. Murray and I are looking forward with keen in¬ 
terest to this trip* He was here recently when we dis¬ 
cussed tee matter and I expect to see him in Richmond to¬ 
morrow at a meeting of the Virginia Society of Ornithology 
when we shall perfect our plans a little further. 
It was most pleasant to see you here in Washington 
and my only regret is that we may not have don© more for you* 
With my kindest regards, I am 
Sincerely yours.
