President Varner suggested to some of our citizens that Madison County ought to send a delegation to Raleigh to be present at a meeting of the Counsel of State to urge the assignment of convicts to work on the State Highway in Madison County and at the request of some of our citizens I went to Asheville today to learn of you when the Counsel of State would meet in Raleigh, or when a meeting of the Counsel could be had so that a delegation could be sent from the county. Some one here suggested that as the Counsel resided in Raleigh that you could call them together at any time for a conference. Mr. Guy V. Roberts suggested that he would be in Raleigh on about the 9, day of August but we will arrange to send a delegation whenever it suits your convenience.

It is very important to our people to have that question settled as it is delaying other road work in the County.
