Dear Franklin: 
 
                            I am enclosing herewith a
proposed deed and acopy of the same from you to Mrs.Backer
of that part of the Dumphy farm lying between Violet Avenue
and the part of it on the east which you now own. There is 
reserved in the deed a strip of land fifty feet in width along
the north line for a road and it is conveyed subjec to the
lease of Hicks and the rights, if any, of the Telephone
Company and the Central Hudson Gas & Elec. Corp.therein.
 
                           If the deed is satisfactory to
you, it might be well to send the copy  to Mrs. Backer for
her inspection as she mightinsist upon a surveyed description.
 
                           If Mrs. Backer is also satisfied
with the deed you may sign and acknowledge the original before
a Notary Public and have the proper officer attach his certificate
showing the authority of the Notary to take the acknowledgment
and return the deed to me with a check for $9,000. and I will
record the deed from the Newbold Trustees to you and the deed
from you to Mrs. Backer.
 
                          I hope to be able to close the
title with Wright on Monday or Tuesday.
 
                           With  kindest regards,I am
 
 
                                                            
                                  Sincerely yours,
                                                            
                                [Henry T. Hacket]
