City. 

 Dear Mr. Davidson: 



Referring- to our conversation with regard to an attempt to settle the 

 condemnation matter of State against "Winterrowd, in which land is being 

 taken for the State Fair g-rounds, will say that our client is willing to 

 accept in full settlement of the matter the sum of $16,436 with interest 

 thereon at 6% from the date of the award, State also paying- the costs. 

 This is $2,000 more than the amount g-iven by. the sheriff's jury. 



If this is satisfactory to the State, kindly advise us and we will complete 

 the settlement. If the State does not care to settle, however, we would be 

 g-lad to know it as soon as possible as we wish to get the case tried and 

 out of the way. 



Yours very truly, 



(Signed) Chas. Hutchinson." 



The land in question consists of Lot No. 2 of the L. D. Sims Estate, and
