HON. S.F. LEIB,
SAN JOSE,
My dear Sir;
My usual way of executing a deed , has been
to go to a Notary in Santa Clara . This is more convenient
for me than coming in to San jose. When you have the deed
for coveying the Mountain View property to the Interurban road
ready , if you will mail it to me , I will execute it in my
customary manner and return it to you. As to the " jog"
in the"hundred acre field",- if my recollection serves me
correctly , [ ] the field was fenced in that way when I purchas-
ed it and was always designated as " the hundred acre field".
I could not have stated with any accuracy , the acreage of th
"job". My impression was that the field contained a hundred
acres exclusive of this , but not being positive about it all
I preferred to offer the field as a whole ^ that is " as it is fenced" , instead of selling
it by the acre . If I had decided to sell it by the acre , I
probably ahould have asked a little more than three hundred
dollars per acre. Yours Truly S. L. Winchester | 1 |
