Dear Rep. Sam I've been interviewed often by the
Press and here is my "chance" to bring out the
conduful geology of Texas and its resources,
all with the ulterior purpose that he will then
can use it to raise either among himself
or for the Legislature to appropriate one million
dollars for a museum building, equipment,
ships and fellowships. I'm sure all
Sam but Sam thinks that [illegible] is
trying to make his $100 investment in me
eventually worth one million dollars, good heavens
if it all turns out as he thinks!
It appears they have fair facilities
to do some work, but as far as I have not seen
other forms they have to illustrate the guide
forms of the many formations.
