Dear Franklin:
 
           The foreclosure action against Bub (the Schmaling
 
farm) was settled this morning just before the time set for 
the auction.
 
           Louis Schmaling of Port Chester, N, Y. bought the
 
property, paying off the first and second mortgages and a 
Judgment aggregating in all, as I am informed, about $9,000.
 
           His father owned the Abram Van Wagner farm next 
north of this one on the Van Wagner Road.
 
           With kindest regards,
                        Sincerely yours,
                        Henry Hackett
