Ben A. Neal, Pres.,
McDuffie County Fair Asso.;
Thomson, Ga.,
I beg to acknow
ledge your favor of 1st. I mentioned
this matter to Mr. C. A. Wickershan,
General Manager Georgia Railroad, and
lie immediately took it up witli 'Mr.
Jackson, G. F. A., who advised that a
rate of 3 cents pur mile round trip,, for
a radius of 50 miles, would be put on
during your Fair. Mr. Wickersham
appeared to be much interested in your
fair; and asked many questions about
McDuffie and Thomson, and from what
1 can\gather in a general wny, 1 think
he will be very broad and liberal in his
policy towards the towns on the Ga.
road. I intend visiting your fair, and
hope to see a good deal of you boys
during that time.
With best wishes,
