HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Committee on Elections No. 1.

Rocky Mount, Va., February 9, 1909.

Mrs. J. E. Robinson, Richmond, Va.:

Dear Madam,—I am in receipt of your letter of the 8th inst., relating to the matter of restoring to the "Cabin John Bridge" the name of Jefferson Davis, and beg to assure you that I will take great pleasure in aiding you to the accomplishment of your purpose, in any way possible.

Yours very truly,

E. W. Saunders.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, U. S.

Washington, D. C., February 12, 1909.

Mrs. J. E. Robinson,

113 Third Street, South, Richmond, Va.:

My Dear Mrs. Robinson,—Referring to your letter of recent date, having reference to the restoration of the name of Mr. Davis to the "Cabin John Bridge," I beg to say that it will give me great pleasure to co-operate with my associates in Congress in an effort to induce the War Department to replace Mr. Davis' name on that structure. I quite agree with you that it would be better to restore it through the War Department than by legsilation.

Very respectfully yours,

Carter Glass,

COMMITTEE ON MILITARY AFFAIRS.

Yours very truly,

James Hay.
