HENRY T. HACKETT ATTORNEY & COUNSELLOR AT LAW 226 UNION STREET POUGHKEEPSIE, NEW YORK June 20th, 1958. Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt Hyde Park Dutchess County, N.Y. 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] |
