Lebanon Sept 17 1838

To His Exc N Cannon

D.Sir

I see in the last Banner
I have been selected as one of the Directors on the
part of the State in the Cumberland & Stones River
Turnpike Company. I have declined allowing my
name to be presented for the same place on other
roads- I have also refused to be considered in any
of them as an individual or to become a Director
on the part of the stockholders. Yet as I do not
wish to be in the way of the contemplated improv-
ments, but on the contrary am pleased to see
them carried on upon proper principles, I have
not felt disposed to throw any obstructions in their
way. I do not know any road under the new
system which has been conducted more poorly
than the one on which I am appt. But together
with some other objections, my engagements are
such that I cannot give the matter the proper attention
You will therefore excuse me for desiring you
to make another appt. in my stead. I would
name as a suitable person Alfred Foster or
Dr M McCorkle.
Very respectfully
Robt. L. Caruthers
