One more thing I forgot to mention -- Pete Rohan
wants to rent his former farm for another year. Will
you send him the necessary extension?
In reguard to the barn and shed buildings on the
west side of Violet Avenue, I told Moses Smith that for
the coming season at least he could use those buildings
and the two fields. They will be very useful to him because,
as you know, I have taken a good deal of land away from
his use by planting trees on it. He needs the extra
pasture and crop land and he says he can use the barns for
several cows as his barn is crowded. I do not know whether
this will make any difference in the insurance or not but
if it does you might send Moses Smith a letter stating you
understand he will actively use the buildings and those
two fields and take care of them. Smith says this will
make it much easier for him to pay the rent he owes me!
As ever yours,
Franklin Roosevelt
