Tallahassee, Fla., July 15, 1940. Hon. Spessard L. Holland, Bartow, Florida. Dear Senator Holland: - I know you are receiving many suggestions concerning matters to be mentioned in your inaugural address,and I am going to add one more to the list. In coming to Tallahassee in the past you have enjoyed the shade and beauty of the magnificent live oak trees on our streets and in our parks, as well as those of the surrounding section; and, in thinking of your approaching four years' residence here, which I assure you pleases Tallahasseeans, perhaps without being aware of the fact, the presence of these trees probably lends its part to the attractiveness of the prospect. The Tallahassee Garden Club and the Community Flanning Council are committed to the work of preserving the live oak trees for the enjoyment of the present generation and the benefit of generations to come. In expressing your pleasure at coming to Tallahassee will you, in the exercise of your good taste and judgement, make some mention of our beautiful trees? It will mean much to us in our work of preserving the live oak trees on the streets and in the parks of Tallahassee. Thanking you, and with all good wishes, I am, Sincerely, (Mrs. Fred C. Elliot) Chairman Tallahassee Live Oak Trail.
