State of North Carolina,
Executive Department,
Raleigh.

July 15th 1913

Hon. W. D. Turner,
Statesville, N.C.

My dear Governor:

I will give to you and the gentlemen interested in the Statesville Air Line a hearing before the Council of State at any time at which a meeting can be held.

I expect to leave Raleigh on Saturday and will be in Asheville for a week or two.

It is at present somewhat difficult to have a full meeting of the Council of State in Raleigh. During these months several of them are always out of town.

With best wishes,

Your friend,
