left of spruce. All the hemlock but a little is left. Some nice black 

 ash. All the hard-wood spruce on most of it was light. It is some 

 hilly; not much swampy; a good many springs. Some beautiful beach * 

 and maple flats price as it is four dollars per acre; with hemlock off, 

 three dollars. I may be able to shade that, but don't look like it now. 

 The parties that own it would not sell to State if they knew it, for 

 railroad from Canada is expected to go through it in a few years; but 

 it makes no odds to me, if I get their price I shall sell. I will give 

 you the outlines of lot until I am able to get map. 



Tours respectfully.
