MEMORANDUM FOR
 
         HENRY T. HACKETT
 
      As I remember it, this is the farm due east of the 
famous controversial wood lot and north of the Peter Rohan 
farm. As I recall it, Jacobs wanted to sell for $8,000 
which you and I both thought was too high. It seems to me 
if we could get it for a lower price, and if Peter Rohan 
were willing to rent it for the amount of the taxes, it 
might be worth considering.
 
      Will you answer this letter for me?
 
                        F. D. R.
 
Letter from Miss Lydia Parry Teasdale of 41 Cannon Street,

farm On Cream Street.
