_______________

A trip over the exclusive automobile road, seventeen miles long, to Mt. Pisgah, built by Mr. George W. Vanderbilt at a cost of $51,000, is one of the rarest treats afforded the visitors to Asheville. The distance from Asheville to the entrance of this great automobile highway is twelve miles over a fine improved road, seven miles of which is macadam with five miles of sand-clay.

"The chain is indeed a beauty, and I mean to keep it always as someday it will be a curiosity. I am very busy but will write a letter soon. My eyes are about all right. Love to all. Yours, B. 1-7-04."
