Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Governor of New York State,
Albany, N. Y.
 
Dear Governor:
 
              I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favor 
of the 5th instant enclosing quit claim deed to be signed 
by the Executors of your brother's estate conveying a 
small piece of property in Queens to Charles Shapiro.
 
              In view of section 2032 of the Penal Law, 
I would suggest that we make certain that Charles Shapiro 
is the owner of this property before you or your mother 
execute deeds thereof to him. If he is the actual owner of 
the property and desires these quit claim deeds to correct 
his title, of course there will be no harm in executing the 
deeds and delivering them to him. Please let me know if you 
are satisfied that he is the owner of the property.
 
         With best wishes and kindest remembrances,
                    Very sincerely yours,
                    John Hackett
