©He gtttlrttt** tyvintev Asheville, N. C, Dexs. 1st, 1899. Ur. C. P. ambler, Seo'y. S Treas., Appalachian Natl. Park Assn., Asheville, N. C. Dear Sir:— On or about the tirae of my election and appointment to offices in connection with the Appalachian Natl. Park Assn., I had in contemplation the purchase of a printing plant in Asheville. its I have completed my arrangements in that connection, it has occur- red to me that it would be a source of embarrassment to me to be placed on Committees in which the consideration of bills in connection with printing would be an occasional matter of the routine of business. 1 would, therefore, request you to so arrange that my work in connection with the advancement of the interests of the Association would be or. some Committee whose duty would not involve passing upon bills for printing or other supplies. While this request may seem to be a matter of extreme delicacy on my part, I am prompted to it oj the understanding that it will avoid embarassing complications that would be very undesirable to the infant life of the Association. Assuring you of my earnest desire to co-operate in advancing the interests of the Park movement in any way thatmay be indicated, I am, Yours respectfully,
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

The Appalachian National Park Association was formed in 1899 for the purpose of promoting the idea of a national park in the eastern U.S. Although located in Asheville, North Carolina, the organization was a multi-state effort, attracting representatives from six southern states. One of the highlights of the group’s activities was the convention held in 1902 to which 1,500 people attended. The Association lobbied Congress for the creation of a park, but with limited success. The Association disbanded in 1905.
