F. -2-thousand dollars required annually for its care will largely be met by rental of privileges (hotel, etc.) within the Valley itself.I am informed that if Cannon will consider the Bill, that it can be passed in the House, and then the House bill might be substituted for the Senate Bill, and Kittredge's opposition overcome.It would be a great pity to see all our good work come to naught, especially after we have labored so hard to carry the bill through our State legislature. I very much fear that if the bill does not pass this session of Congress, the next State legislature will repeal the act of recession, and undo the entire matter, and destroy, for many years, at least, the possibility of bringing the whole Park under one jurisdiction.Very truly yours,[illegible] 03718
