1871-1900 Yaquina Head Lighthouse Letter books

lots 3 and 4 on any part of them would be of (no) value whatever for a reservation.

As your letter on this subject gives (a) wrong description of the land purchased for this reservation, I have on the enclosed sketch laid a black tint on the reservation, and a red tint on the ground over which the gov't has the perpetual right of way, right to take water, sand and clay and right to launch ??? It includes all the land owned by Mr Baldwin in that tract.

Very respectfully Your obedient servant Henry M Robert Maj. of Eng'rs & L. H. Eng'r, Thirteenth District.
