Sir; 
Referring to your letter of April 6, 1925, the remark 
to which you refer has reference to the portion of Piney Branch 
Valley east of 1.6th Street which has largly Been destroyed by 
debris, but which I still hope will be possible as a park. 
Sometime at your convenience, if you will call at 
my office, I will go out with you to look it over. 
Very truly yours. 
Director
