Would you buy lot No. 5 in the 14 township Totton, and Cross- 

 field, purchase, town of Minerva, Essex county, N. T. The lot has 

 been owned by W. & R. Evans for years. They several years ago 

 move west and one of their sons came here this summer and is 

 looking the land up. He would like to sell this lot to you. There is 

 160 acres in the lot, and there is now due the State for taxes $67.24 

 which amount he will pay or you can keep it out of the purchase ' 

 price. I think the title is 0. K. You can have the lot for $1.50 per 

 acre. Please answer on receipt of this and oblige, 



Tours very truly.

 lands in St. Lawrence county. I have some lands in this county, and 

 in the township of Kildare. Will you please on receipt of this let me 

 hear if you are buying such lands, as I would like to sell mine.
