My dear Father
The Collector
Unknown
of
Taxes for Gas and street Lamps
he has been here three times before
but I have not seen him untill
now. he says the time has overrun
two or three month and he was expe-
-cting you home. he wished me
to ask you if you would send
a check for $11.38 for which I
will take a receipt.
I told Mr Choat that you
would not rent the room for
less than $50. but that he could
keep his thing in it untill we
found another tenent. if he
would pay rent at the rate
of 25 which he said he would
do. so that he is to move out
as soon as we find some one
else to take it. Mr Mann

said it was the best thing could
be done. The Store and upper
rooms in the new building
are not rented yet
