near Farris;

First let me say congratulation sgain...... It was a
firLt to the end, and rough at that, with the fiaht
and the intergrity which you hnd you had to Vin...
and "on did.

ou mentioned at times 'hout the elp of fulia.. You
were so ri~ht she had tie ability and know how to help
also wit! Lhe determination of the 7urnett Klan to win.

I know that you are clad that it is over, to all are,
and I mistt say tfet a four any tscetion is not enough
I minht suggest taking the family for a trip to Yellow-
stone, to Calgary Rantr, a real trip out nest, we have
made this trip many times before i went in as County
Commissioner. that is when I did not have to answer to
the iear people.

.hen convenient 1 would appreciate the opportunity or
talking with you about the future, 1 shall be available
when ever you say.

In February when 1 met you at the Junior Chamber of
Commerce Jamboree, i told you that 1 would see you

on the next trip to Jacksonville. that is when i met
you in the Geo Jashington hotel with some or my friends
from our state Rights G roup.

vhi
I explained to you wet I would do, write to all of the
County Commissioners, also all or the County Attorneys
It you remember I was chairman of the Legislative Comm.
when you were speaker or the house, You arranged a meet-
ing for our committee at 2 F.H. J une 2nd in reference (g)
to our 7d gas tax monies. being ehnointed to this job
kept me in constant contact with all of the commissioere

Also at the hotel I told you that I would write to all
of my friends which 7 inituated in the hrine, which I
did.

All or this vas done without a promise from you. I have
answered 668 letters which mere replys from the letters
which was sent, :he only pronise that won wave me was
that those who worked would be remembered.

he camoaipn was verv olesant until I heard that
tYe ever was doina evcrthin: in his mower to
discredit me ;}%p vou.

D

Ibis I woullmave known about but camata me thronrh
Lou Ritter and on Tr dnick, nhicf re will discuss
when the time comes.... 2180 the same rumor was used
in "iami by harold Jhancey, one of Laydena workers.

Regardless of the above, I have found in a campaign
you can hear anything.

Let me say this that whatever opportunity you have

to offer, you will have a worker one that will be
loyal and know how to take orders.

nould it be possible for you and J ulia to attend

a party at my home for a group of twenty five or thirty
or our aural County workers ? If so you let me

know the approximate date.

Slincerely

fM
