Letter from George T. Powell to Edgar Chambless

George T. Powell read Edgar Chambless’s book Roadtown with great interest, and feels that while there are details to be worked out it is within the realm of possibility. If Chambless can get a start on his project with some success, he would quickly attract investors–the problem may simply be finding the initial capital to construct an example. Powell does not believe his duties will allow him to devote time to the project, but offers to speak with Chambless on the phone to discuss some points of the plan.

Letter from George T. Powell to Theodore Roosevelt

George T. Powell came to the Oyster Bay area in 1905 to examine trees and educate people on how to protect them from insects. He has recently been invited to visit the region again. Powell offers to look at President Roosevelt’s trees while he is there and to advise the estate’s superintendent on how to protect them. Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt indicated the work was not needed, as someone had attended to the estate’s trees last year.
