New Roads which you are now diligently at work at, that you
have already accomplished much, which a reference to your
printed Annual Statement will confirm, and that having but
just been enabled to put these newly acquired powers into
action, and the active steps you have already taken to put
them in force, it may safely be affirmed that each succeeding
year will produce marked improvements, and that the
next Septennial Report will include the completion of many
most important matters which, for the reasons stated, have
been up to this time but subjects of anticipation, and that it
will then chronicle the accomplishment of many improvements
of which our locality is susceptible, which with the continued
possession of your esteem and confidence, permit me to hope
may be the pleasing duty of
Your obedient Servant,
J. C. REYNOLDS,
SURVEYOR.
