Dear Franklin:
 
              The transfer of title from Edward Schaffer 
and wife to you of the small lot surrounded on three sides
by the Jones property was finished this afternoon and the 
deedshave been filed for recording.
 
               I had Hatfield write to Deane Lent in
reference to his interest in the Lent wood lot and to date he
has received no reply. At the suggestion of Miss Reynolds, I
had Hatfield see Dr. Poucher about the other Lent heirs. He
could give no definite information about them other than that
he thought they were living somewhere in New Jersey.Dr.Poucher
suggested that a Mr. Dutcher in the Poughkeepsie Trust Company
might know something, but on being interviewed, he could not 
give any information. I went to Newburgh to find the writer of
the LentGenealogy and found that he was dead and that he had a son
in the insurance business. The son was unable to give me any
information about the branch of the Lent family in which we are
interested.I shall continue to do the best I can to locate the
missing Lents.
 
              With kindest regards, I am
 
                                         Sincerely yours,
                                        [Henry T. Hackett]
