Dear Franklin:
 
                                               I thought
that I had all your taxes paid but found out this morning
that the 13.7 acres you
purchased from Wright have not been attended to.
 
                                               His farm of
80 acres is assessed for the land value at $1500. or at
$18.75 per acre, without       buildings. The 13.7 acres at
$18.75 per acre would make an assessment of $256.87. The
tax on this assessment at $28.83 per thousand would be
$7.41 plus 1% coilactor's fee.
 
                                               I do not
think that Wright pays his taxes very promptly, so I will
wait until just before the l% period expires on Feb. 6th
and see what I can do with him about them.
 
                                 With kindest regards, I am
 
                                            Sincerely yours,
                                        [Henry T. Hackett]
