Dear Franklin:
 
              Peter C. Rohan has informed me that the 
house on the farm which he sold to you needs painting 
badly inside and out. He is willing to do the work and 
furnish the material if you want him to, but I told him 
you had a man whom I thought you would probably have do 
it.
 
                                Sincerely yours,
                                Henry Hackett
