half of lot 37 in Chase's pt. If you can make a bargain that will 



make the State land more together and will fetch mine and my 



mother's closer together, I would like to hear from you soon in regard 



to this. 



Respectfully yours.

Keene Valley, N. Y., June 16, 1887. 

 New York State Land Office : 



Gentlemen. — I have a well timbered lot that I would like to 

 exchange for a wild lot in Roaring Brook tract, lots 11 and 12; my 

 lot is situated in Johns Brook valley, and corners with State lot 69, 

 old military tract, township 1 and 2, also with lot 93. There is about 

 400 acres in my lot and is mostly well covered with forest. I would 

 like to exchange this for those lots in Roaring Brook tract, not for 

 lumbering purposes, but for a place for a building site that would be 

 more convenient for my purpose. As near as I can find out there is 

 but little lumber on those lots. There are two little ponds which are 

 used for camping purposes. If I can not exchange this property I 

 would like to buy. I will refer you to P. C. Parker, forester, as to 

 the location and timber on my lot. 



Hoping to receive an immediate reply, I remain, 



Tours respectfully.

 Land Commissioners of New York, Albany, N. Y. : 



Dear Sir. — I have formerly applied for purchase of lot No. 11, 

 Roaring Brook tract, town Keene, Essex county. See letter of Comp- 

 troller to me dated February 27, 1885. 



Under the law, as it now stands, I think you can sell this lot, and if 

 so, wish you would let me know under what terms. Want the first 

 chance to buy it. 



Yours truly. 



E, W. COGGIN,
