Gilman, Charles L. to Horace Kephart {% Outing, New York City), Crane Lake, via Orr, St. Louis Co., Minnesota, September 30, 1925. Keohart, Horace to Hon. Mark Squires (Lenoir, N. C), Bryson City, N. C, October 13, 1925. "Returning from a three-days' absence from hmme, I find in my mail a copy of your reply to Mr. Reuben B. Robertson, President of the Champion Fibre Company; also copy of Mr. Robertson's letter to you in which he objects to our booklet on the Smoky Mountain National Park, particularly on account of a supposititious price per acre for the virgin timber area. Mr. Robertson says: "We note that a rather definite statement is made to the effect that the virgin timber of the Smoky Mountain area can be purchased for about twenty-five dollars per acre." ^^"J" "There is no such statement in the booklet. The only references to price per acre are on page 17, in a quotation from a letter sent me by a prominent ex- lumberman, in which he says: "Suppose the land with the spruce trees standing is worth $25 an acre, or $1,250,000 for the 50,000 acfces. Could North Carolina afford to have this magnificent scenery destroyed for one or two hundred years, even if they got the million and a quarter?" "Farther down in the same letter, referring to a critic, my correspondent says: "He will not find anything in law nor in their practice to justify them (the Forest Service) in paying, say, $25 an acre for spruce timber and keep it as a museum specimen of a virgin growth." "Suppose it is worth $25 an acre. Say $25 an acre. "He might just as well have said $50 an acre so far ah the argument was concerned. It is all "for example" or "by way of illustration," and there is no intent of placing an actual valuation on the property. This is very far from being a statement that the virgin timber area can be purchased for about $25 per acre. "You are quite correct in assuring Mr. Robertson that the proof of the book was read by persons who have knowledge of the facts. It was read by several members of the Federal Commission and by various other competent judges and the booklet has their approval. I am sending Mr. Robertson a copy of this letter." Diehl, Walter S. to Horace Kenhart (Bryson City, N*-C), 1725 Lanier Place, N.W. Washington, D. C, October 27, 1925. Stowe, Beecher to Horace Kephart, The Country Life Press, Garden City, Long Island, N. Y., April 5, 1926. "I am glad to learn that you are going to resume your writing in the near future, and still more gratified that you will kindly give us first chance at the novel." Kephart, C. I. to "Gentlemen," 2131 F Street, K. W., Washington, D. C, August 2, 1925. (Note: Concerning the Kephart Family Genealogy.) McLean, (Governor) Angus Wilton to Hon. Horace Kephart (Bryson City, N. C), State of North Carolina, Executive Chamber, Raleigh, N. C., September 28, 1926. "Just a few words to express my very great satisfadtion that you will represent your county in the next General Assembly. "I am sure that it will be a pleasure for me to be associated with you in the laudable task of making North Carolina a greater and better State in which to live.. I am looking forward to seeing much of you while in Raleigh. 'With warm regards, and hoping that you will let me hear from you whenever I can , be of service, believe me, Faithfully yours, . . . ."
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).
