, Chairman Committee on Invitation, Mississippi River Improvement Convention, /St. Louis, Mo. DEAR SIR : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 13th inst. , inviting me to be present at the Mississippi River Improvement Convention, to be holden at St. Louis on October 26th prox. My views as to the much-needed improvement of the Mississippi river and its tributaries are well known. Suffice it to say that I am in full sympathy with the objects of your Convention. That th...e improvement of this great natural highway and 175 its tributaries is an immediate necessity, is proven by the established fact that, at this date, with the very limited improvement which has been made in this system of waters, the produce of the States lying on the river is being daily shipped to the great markets of the world on these streams at a less cost for transportation than prevails on the all-rail routes. If this can be done with the meager improvement already accomplished, what may we not expect when the river is improved on a broad and permanent system ?
