much ii you will accept this in
vitation to have supper with me in

December 27 th.
1 believe that now is the proper
time to undertake the proposition of
securing a hard surfaced highway
through Tillamook County by bond

the State and Federal Government in
the proposition.
I am, therefore, inviting a few of
the men of the county who have
been particularly interested in the
better roads movement to meet with
me and talk over plans that may be
adopted to further this movement.
I trust that you will be able to
meet with us on the above date.
With the very best of wishes that
you nlay have a Merry Christmas

year, 1 remain.
Very respectfully yours,
