The following letter was read from General P. B. Peyton:
The Chairman
~-~Board of Supervisors
County Office Building
Charlottesville, Virginia
Dear Mr. McCue:.
It appears that I will not be allowed to attend the meeting called
for the election of a new county executive.
In all such appointments I personally would vote in each instance
for the~gest qualified man and pay him what he is worth. I feel
strongly that the man's being county or not county should in no way in-
fluence our selection. I do not feel we can justify to ourselves or
others the ch~Ce of a second best man for any reason whatsoever.
If I can vote by proxy, I vote fore.Mr. Robinson,-the present in-
cumbent. I further believe him to be worth $7500 per annum to ns.~ The
operation of that office is our responsibility and I think we Should
take no risk by employing someone whose fitness may be open to question.
I have asked Mr. Henry Chiles to cast my ballot if I can vote.
Very Sincerely,
(Signed) P. B. Peyton

for AlBemarle County at $7500.00 per annum, effective July I, 1948, which motion was carried
