Dear Mr. Cash:
I am very much interested in hearing of the map of Fernandina which you have had compiled by Franz Dallheimer and I would like to know if it would be possible for you to have a copy made, of course at our expense.
We are doing a local guide for Fernandina and if you will allow us to reproduce it in the guide, of course we would be glad to give you credit for the research on the map.
I showed Franz an English map which I have with the city plan of [sic] Fernandina and he thought you would be much interested in it. I will be sure to bring it to Tallahassee next time I come.
Best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
Carita Doggett Corse [signature]
