| Sir, |
| I take pleasure in writing
with Maj Genl Cobb & Col R. M. Cuy in representing to the Genl
Comdg the importance of your road to me as a public officer. |
| My sawmill wood & coal
yard is at the end of the road which is the only place on the road
that timbers & wood can be procured in any quantities. If the road
is taken up to Buzzard Roost, I shall be compelled to move to some
other road & none other offers the same advantages. |
| Respectfully |
