Dear Franklin:
 
             I have had several letters from Earle W. 
Newton, who says he is to be connected with your library, 
about renting or buying the house near the sheep barns 
on the Rogers place.
 
             Mr. Rogers is willing to rent, but does not 
want to sell off any Dart of the main property.
 
             I do not think that Mr. Newton is aware of the 
fact that the house has no modern improvements, electric 
light, water, etc. and that there are no electric light
poles within a half mile.
 
             With kindest regards, I am
                        Sincerely yours,
                        Henry Hackett
