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 National Park,
one to the north, the other to the south of Bubble Pond, the con-
struction 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 1,599 feet,
making a total of 6,405 feet.
If the Department is now prepared to proceed with the construc-
tion of these two proposed roads in so far as they go through Lafay-
ette 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.
