Dr Sir

Mr Simmons is now in New Orleans. We anticipate his return stoping at Washington the last of this week or early next week. I do not see that I can do more than leave it for him to confer with you on the subject of your letter. I will meet him by letter at Raleigh and ask him to do so-

Very truly yours
