 Mr. Comptroller: 



Dear Sir. — I have got 6,063 acres of wild land that I want to sell 

 the State for one dollar and fifty cents per acre. Mr. Erwin tells me 

 there was a law passed this spring authorizing you to buy some wild 

 land. My land is situated as follows: Five thousand four hundred 

 and twenty-three acres in the north-east corner of the township of 

 Piercefield known as the Gidden's tract. 1 own also lot 16 in the 

 township of Kildar, containing 640 acres. The Northern Adirondack 

 railroad runs within half a mile of the 5,423 acres tract; it is timbered 

 with hemlock and hard wood and some spruce, but the most of the 

 spruce is Cut off. Please let me hear from you by return mail, if 



possible, and oblige 



Yours, etc.

Q. Did you receive at your office several applications to sell to the 

 State lands under the appropriation of $25,000 passed last year by 

 the Legislature ? 



A. Yes. sir.
