Director of National Parks,
Department of the Interior,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
I am enclosing herewith a map showing in broken colored
lines two proposed horse roads lying partly in Lafayette Na-
tional Park, one to the north, the other to the south of
Bubble Pond, the construction of which was approved by the
Department of the Interior in 1922 if my memory serves me
correctly.
The road to the south of Bubble Pond, which is 18,200
feet in length, passes through Park lands only at two points;
at one for a distance of 100 feet, at the other for a distance
of 1,960 feet, making a total of 2,060 feet.
The road to the north of Bubble Pond, which is 12,050 feet
in length, passes through the Park lands in two places; at one
for a distance of 4,846 feet, at the other for a distance of
1,559 feet, making a total of 6,405 feet.
If the Department is now prepared to proceed with the
construction of these two proposed roads in so far as they
go through Lafayette National Park, the roads to be built
according to the same specifications as the other horse roads
in Lafayette National Park, I will contribute the moneys necessary
for that purpose.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
