swamp of tamarack, the north side 132 and ' 124 are on the side of a 

 mountain; the balance of the land is fair rolling, part quite level, the 

 rest sloping, not swampy. The water from the lake runs westerly, and 

 finds its way to the West river. The water from 133 and part of 134 

 runs to West Stoney creek. The divide is on 134. There is a chance 

 for a very good road to said lots; there is no bad hills. Said lots, 

 should think, covered about from ten to fifteen years. We will give 

 a good warranty deed for one dollar twenty-five cents per acre. 



Yours truly,

 Mr. Wemple, Comptroller: 



Dear Sir. — I see by the papers that the State will buy a certain 

 amount of wild land in the Adirondikes for which on dollar and fifty 

 cents an acre will be paid for forest preserve, if that be true will you 

 please give me the name of the committy that have charge of buying 

 said land if there is any such committy, if not will you please answer 

 if you or your committy, on forest preserve, want about 6,000 acres 

 lying each of Eaquet river below Tuper^s lake, coming to the 

 Eaquet and reaching to a part of the Vanderbilts hunting grounds on 

 the Yerdon river and to the hay meadows beyond Vanderbilts ground. 

 The spruce, the largest and the pines, has been cut, but the most of 

 it is Well timbered with small spruce and other timber, and has good 

 hunting as the State afords, I think. If the State wants it, I would 

 like to know soon, for a pulp company will look at it soon, if the State 

 does not want it at one dollar fifty cents an acre. 



Yours, etc., 



Please address. I. LESLIE CEAEY,

 Dear Sir. — Yours of the twenty-fifth received, asking for a descrip- 

 tion of land. I have never seen the property. It is in Essex county, 

 Totten & Crossfield's purchase. Township 28, lot 30, northerly end 

 of westerly 1-2. This is all the description I can give unless you wish 

 me to copy a portion of my deed. As to the price, I will have to leave 

 that to the commission to state the highest price they would be willing 

 to give. 



Yours respectfully. 



JANET EUSSELL,
