As I cut my eye-teeth on those mountains. I naturally had a shock. The encyclopedias mean nothing to the individual.

Those signs are the goscel truth. "What can we do about these signs? Are they in the lady's im agination or are they actually there? Has somebodv really blundered in a mistaken effort to setup the Old Dominion? Can you help? "My memory tells me (hat Mt Mitchell. N. C. (under 7.000 feet) is the "highest peak east of the Mls- slsslpol; that there Is nothing in the Shenandoah Valley much over 3,000 feet, and that Mt Rogers (under 8.000 feet) further west or Is it Peaks of Otter Is the high est in Virginia.

Am I correct? Sincerely yours: (Signed) Charles Steele Davidson."
