Dear Franklin:
 
              In reference to the Lent wood lot, Mr. Lent, 
an attorney of Highland, Ulster County, N. Y., who
represents Mrs. Leo, one of the Lent heirs, called on
Hatfield one day about a week ago and said that he could
get a deed from two of the heirs. Mr. Leo called at Hatfield's
office yesterday in the absence of Hatfield and left word
to have the deed sent down to Mrs. Leo for execution.
 
              As Hatfield has been dealing with Mr. Lent in 
this matter, he thought it better to speak to him before
sending the deed. This morning he called up Mr. Lent and found
that he will be away until Monday. On Monday Hatfield will
call him up before sending the deed to Mrs. Leo.
 
              I have prepared three quit claim deeds to
Hatfield from Ms. Leo, Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Lewis and have
delivered them to him with my check to his order for $200. for
Mrs. Leo, so that he will be ready to do business whenever
they are.
 
             I expect to go away Monday for a few days
vacation and on my return will take up this matter again.
 
              With kindest regards, I am
              Sincerely yours,
              Henry Hackett
