  • J. A. HOLMES, State Geologist. NORTH CAROLINA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. Chapel trill, IT. C, Jan 29, 1900. Dr. C. P.. Ambler, Secretary Appalachian National Park Association, . Asheville,17.0. My dear Dr. Ambler: Your letter of the 24th would have been answered more promptly but for my absence. At an early date I shall try to furnish you wi&h ashort article on the forests of the Great Smokies and at some time during the present spring I hope to be able to prepare a more elaborate paper setting forth the geology, forestry and general scenic conditions of the area considered for the proposed Park, but it will be impossible to do this at the present time. As far as I can hear the movement is making decided progress and has a good chance of permanent success. Yours truly, State Geologist.
