NEW YORK. 4 Feb 24 My Dear Miss Austin, Sam Dix told me on Saturday that you and others had been pleased to wonder what special feature I should make the subject of Thursday evening's researches. I have been in that self same condition of uncertainty myself, but have decided to take Roads and Canals for the main theme. I shall be very glad of assistance from you and others in eliciting information, and asking pertinent and even impertinent questions. If you have any photographs of famous roads, canals, arches or bridges, I wish that you would have them on hand, that the dryness of written matter may be eliminated. Also please see that a bucket of water is at hand to throw over me if I become too dry. I should have given myself the pleasure of giving this verbally but have been too pressed for time. I am Yours Very Sincerely, L. L. Tribus
