Dear "Doc":
     
            I inclose a letter from Henry T. Hackett in 
regard to Dutchess Hill property, which was the last of 
the two places we looked at and which we both liked.  
In a previous letter, Hackett told me there were only about
30 acres in the place, which makes the acreage price very 
high, but the house is pretty substantial and comfortable,
even though not an architectural gem.  Hackett and I both 
feel that the land north of the house and a little farther
out gives a much better view. It belongs in part to Mrs. 
Powell and in part to Richard Rohan. This land with the better
view could probably be bought for $100.00 an acre, including 
a right of way to it from the road.  In other words, if you
bought say 30 acres for #3000. you would still have $12,000.
to put up your own cottage and build a road in. Think it over.
Perhaps Mrs. Campbell would sell for $12,000.
 
                                 Sincerely yours,
