Abe,

The Cavalier was a little late, but it was worth the wait. Thank you for 
the Turnip Schnapps. It will make for a wonderful Christmas.

You took Morri research to the next level. And I'm certain you have 
properly located it as Glen 'Morri'son and also determined the origin of 
the name. Nice work!

The c.1927 (rev. 1944) map you included shows the terminus of the VGN's 
original Morri Branch down from Milam (which is reached from north of 
Mullens via the Glen Rogers Branch [Virginian and Western] over Polk 
Gap). Later renamed the Laurel Fork Branch (or Spur).

Season's Greetings
