Dear Sir,

We have today rec'd a letter from the Props. of Lot #659 Elm Ave saying that he wishes to buy the space you are looking at, so that we shall be unable to let you have it.

The space in rear of Gerardia Path (near Halcyon Lake) is still at our disposal, and we should be happy to sell you any size of lot you may wish in that section

Respectfully Yours J.W. Lovering Supt. Per E.T.K.
