May 14, 1931. Dear Henry:- There is only one thing I have not got. Could you help me? Hall agreed to pay the additional amount of taxes caused by his operations -- i.e., the buildings on the Dunphy farm, west of Violet Avenue, and the alteration on the barn on the Hughson farm. The Hughson farm taxes, according to yours of February 20th, are $157.89. Am I right in saying that this is no increase over the 1939 taxes? If this is true, Hall owes me nothing on that. I understand from your letter that the taxes on the Dunphy farm, west of Violet Avenue, are $210.53. That represents an undoubted increase over 1939. Can you let me know the amount of this increase? That would be what Hall must reimburse me for. Always sincerely, Franklin Roosevelt |
