Minebva, Essex County, N. ¥., August 2, 1889. 

 To the Board of Forest Commissioners of the State of New York: 



The undersigned, a resident of the town of Minerva, Essex county, 

 respectfully makes application to the board of forest commissioners, 

 for the exchange of that parcel of land belonging to the State of New 

 York, known as lot 31, township 25, Totten & Crossfield's purchase, 

 Thorn's survey, containing 140 acres, all in Minerva; for the following 

 described parcel of land, belonging to the undersigned, known as lot 

 157, tract, west of road patent, containing 160 acres, all in Minerva. 



The reason I desire this exchange is, that lot 31, above mentioned, 

 is situated but about three miles from my home, while lot 157, above 

 mentioned is about eight miles away, and therefore not so easily 

 accessible for the purpose of getting the wood from it.
