John Sprunt Hill, Highway Commissioner for this District, would be delighted to do all in his power to ain in paying honor to the daughter of General Robert E. Lee who died in Warren County in 1862 and is interred in North Caro lina, soil, I asked that he designate one of the Highway Engineers to lay off a road from the Jones Springs Henderson road to the cemetery in which Miss Lee is buried. I stated that this road would be about half to three-quarters of a mile in length, and that I desired that a calculation be made of the cost of a sand-clay road, it being my purpose to ask the General Assembly to construct' the road as a testimonial of love and es teem for the Lee family. I explained the fact that it was a private ceme tery and why she was buried there and why the condition of the road and the surroundings are such as they are. Mr. Hill replied that he doubted his authority to designate a State engin eer to do this work, but that he was in hearty accord with my . plan and suggested that I appear before the full Commission at Raleigh on the 27th of October: that if the Commis sion did not feel that this work should be done by the State as a testimonial of gratitude for the care of Miss Lee's grave, that he would donate $50.00 to aid in having this survey made. I appeared before the Commission as suggested. Mr. Hill stated the; purpose of my presence, I made a three minutes talk, and on motion of Hon. J.Elwood Cox, the Commission unanimously ordered the work done. ' I write this ' for the "information of the citizens of the county and because I feel that Mr. Hill should have cred it for the interest he has taken In this patriotic enterprise. HOWARD F. JONES.
