Wester DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK fands BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT February 15, 1924. Mr. George B. Dorr, Cosmos Club, Washington D. C. Dear Mr. Dorr: Mrs. Viola Ober Phippen tells me today that her mother left a tract of about sixteen acres on Western Mountain just north of West Peak and west of that wooded valley. That she and the other heirs were desirous of selling it. That it could probably be purchased for $100. Should not this lot be acquired for inclusion in the National Park with the other land in that vicinity? There probably is no immediate hurry about the matter and if you prefer I will write Mrs. Phippen stating that we will take the matter un on your return. The examination of the title to this lot will probably take qui to a while. Would it not therefore be better to examine the title to this lot at the same time we examine the title to the other lands surrounding it making one job of the whole territory?

The price asked for this land is $15. per acre and if you were interested I would give more particulars. Sincerely yours, londe DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT September 25, 1919. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, Asticou, Ma ine. Dear President Eliot: You asked me to tell you the situa- tion with regard to the Southwest Harbor lands. This is the first chance that I have had. I began to study these lands from the reservation point of view early in 1917, on receiving in trust certain funds from Mr. Rockefeller to employ privately in co- operating with the Southwest Harbor summer residents in acquiring lands for reservation and inclusion in the park. I employed Mr. Schuyler R. Clark of Southwest Harbor as my agent in the matter, he being at the time similarly employed by the Southwest Harbor committee. Mr. Clark came up and met me in the city and went over the situation with me thoroughly in the light of such knowledge as he had. I outlined what seemed to me the most important properties to secure, in the order of their importance - viewed in relation to what was being done independently by the Southwest Harbor people. Some of these that were readily purchasable he obtained that spring; others he DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT 2- thought that he could get by waiting and watching his opportunity. With regard to these latter he explained to me that the difficulty was not a money one. The people owning them were mainly of old settler stock, holding family inheritances go ing back perhaps for generations, and would not sell at any price that would be wise to offer un- less they were taken in the mood or when they chanced to need the money. It was necessary also to proceed care- - fully because if any idea should get about that others than the Southwest Harbor summer residents were interesting themselves in the matter it would become impossible to se- cure the lands at all at any reasonable price. I was working that summer myself under considerable difficulties, having the park lands included in the national monument in charge and no appropriation from Congress to take care of them or for obtaining clerical assistance. In the fall I went to Washington, returning only for a brief period at the beginning of the winter. At that time the most important matter for the park was securing an adequate appropriation for maintenance and ad- - ministration. To this I gave my time till into the summer, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT 3- the sundry civil bill that year not passing until then : and other matters connected with the park, and personal, prevented my coming to Bar Harbor again until last Decem- ber, when I came down to establish the national monument's office and returned to Washington to secure the passage of the bill making it a national park. In establishing my office force I secured the services of Mr. A. H. Lynam, who had prepared our former deeds under the direction of Judge Deasy and was more conversant than anyone with the land ownerships upon the island. Mr. Lynam whose family was in California at the time, took up his active work as Assistant Super intendent with the special aim of extending our knowledge of the ownership and title of lands desirable for reservation on the island, and of preparation for the overnment's acceptance of those we had acquired and had yet not conveyed, on his return from Cal- - ifornia this spring. I then at once put him in touch with Mr. Clark, and he has since been quietly working - along with other matters - on the Southwest Harbor lands, Mr. Clark having in the meantime secured certain further lands that I had designated, and failed in getting others. No DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT 4- opportunity for securing any lands that I originally out- lined to Mr. Clark for purchase with this fund has been lost. Had such arisen, Mr. Clark would have at once communicated with me and I should have promptly taken it. This summer for the first time, with a park auto- - mobile to use and Mr. Lynam to assist me, I have been able to enter on an adequate study of the situation, and in certain cases to correct my earlier impressions. Mr. Lynam has now got well started on his Southwest Harbor work, and his services in the matter - secured by the work at Washington that took me from here - represent the Government's contribution toward the undertaking - which he needs assistance however to accomplish, in the presence of his other work, within a reasonable time. This assist- ance I understand will be contributed by summer residents upon that side. The ownerships that we are seeking, wild lands for the most part and held with little care, are exceedingly ob- scure, even the boundaries in general not being marked; and what is done has to be done with all precaution, as if the DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT 5- interest of summer residents from the wealthier communities of the eastern portion of the island was inferred prices would rapidly become impossible, or lands impossible to get owners holding them to await developments. I have spent several days and parts of days lately, as I could get. the chance, in quietly studying the different tracts. In my letter of September 10 to Mr. Buell I out- lined what seemed to me of first importance. What I have seen since leaves that unchanged, but in addition to the tracts that I outlined then as most important, viz., the Babbidge lot on the west side of Echo Lake, the Lurvey lot E its basin's head, and the lots at the head of Great Pond, where Cold Brook runs in and the Southwest Harbor Water Comy any has its pumping station, I would now add another: that which will give entrance to the park lands on the western side, where Seal Cove brook comes down to meet the sea. These all are tracts which might be permanently lost be waiting and are essential to a good development. The mountain lands not yet secured and the wood lands generally can better wait. Mr. Clark is at work on the acquisition of these stated lots accordingly. Some he has been seeking DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT 6- to get since 1917, and has made offers for them; others he and Mr. Lynam are now working upon jointly, endeavoring to ascertain the ownership, the boundaries, or the soundness of the title - matters in some cases of considerable difficulty. Certain ones Mr. Clark has, and has had, authority to purchase without fur ther consultation if he cal get them within a price agreed upon; others we know as yet too little about to determine their value. Without Mr. Lynam's aid We would be brought to a stand-still in regard to some of the most essential, and even with it it is like- ly to be three or four months before we can get a clear understanding of the situation, though he has been at work on it at intervals since spring. Mr. Clark thinks it will still need six months. In the interim, there are certain lots that we can take at once if the owners agree to sell and I hope to make progress upon these this fall. It is a matter that cannot be hastened, not only because of these difficulties of title, ownership and boundary, but because any apparent urgency or unwillingness to wait along and mull over a trade in native fashion, as Mr. Clark has urged on me repeatedly, would inevitably result not only in DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK BAR HARBOR, MAINE OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT 7- sending up the price of the particular lot in question, but of every other we might want. In the meantime, all that remains of Mr. Rockefeller's fund, an approximate half, is - as it has been - safely held and will be drawn upon until exhausted as the opportunity comes. Deposited in Boston, that knowledge of Mr. Rocke- feller's interest in the matter might not transpire, I have now - having Mr. Lynam's aid to count upon - placed it, through my friend and family trustee, Mr. Charles P. Bow- ditch, in a special account subject to Mr. Lynam's draft as to my own in case of accident or quick need of action. I append the statement of the account as it now stands.

Dear Mr. Dorr: I was able to stir things & little before going West in regard to the option on the 400 acre tract on the Eastern Paak of Western Mountain. In my absence in the West, Mr. Yarnall acted with promptness and the long and short of the matter is that the owner would not extend the option and the title has been taken. You will be glad to know that we have see cured Flying Mountain and the Valley in between Dog and Flying Mountains from Valley Cove to Fernald's Cove. If, therefore, you can get Lawson to contribute his tract, we will have secured the entire western shore of Somes Sound to the north end of Robinson Mountain and the south end of Flying Mountain and all the mountains and valleys back to the shore of Echo Lake.

Mr. Hamlin has requested me to obtain these contracts for him. I have completed my examination of title to this property and will have a talk with Mr. William Draper Lewis within a few days about it.

My dear Sir - Mrs. Cromwell says that you are expecting a letter from me about the Robinson Mountain purchase. All that I can say is to confirm the telephone conversation we had when I was in Northeast Harbor and you in Mr. Mear's office at Bar Harbor. Mrs. Cromwell and I are ready to take title to the Hamlin tract as soon as the papers are in proper shape. We wish to take title in the name of Mabel S. Cromwell and Lincoln Cromwell as joint tenants. On receipt of word that the title is ready to be closed, I shall send you a certified check for $4,000. drawn to your order or to the order of the person you designate. It is understood between us that Mrs. Cromwell and I will transfer Robinson Mountain to the Trustees of the Reservation of Public Lands, as a memorial to the late Cornelius Smith and his wife, Mary Wheeler. We shall make this transfer as soon as possible after the completion of the present negotiations for the Hamlin tract and the seventy- five acre plot.

Door, Esqr., Bar Harbor, Maine. Dear Mr. Door: At & meeting of the Northeast Harbor Mountain Committ- ee it was voted that we should appropriate $2,500 to the purchase of the seventy-five acre lot extending from the summit of Robinson Mountain to Echo Lake and that you should be informed of this resolution. You will understand that this $2.500 includes the con- tribution of Mr. & Mrs. Cromwell towards the purchase. It was fur- ther voted that the title to the entire lot when purchased should be taken in the names of Mr. & Mrs. Cromwell SO that the conveyance to the trustees of the Public Reservations would come from them. Our further understanding is, that you and Mr. Mears are in sole charge of the negotiations for purchase. On our behalf you may offer $2,500, if you cannot get it for less. Our Committee also took the action in regard of Flying Mountain. Mr. J. A. Murray has taken up the negoiations for us at the point where I left them off and I hope he will be able to report by the end of the week that he has obtained the mountain and the necessary part of Valley Cove. In the course of securing money for the purchase of mountains, I called on Mr. Benjamin W. Arnold. Mr. Arnold stated that he was not interested in acquiring the mountains, but that he was intensely interested in two things: The preservation of bird life and securing the certain land which I shall presently describe on at the head of Sones Sound. away 499ARO / LOVE - - 100 137086 1890 claims 100123 842 10 - . 30 : . statements times . fund resor 11 do is 105 - 702 0594 ext 211 - purpose - AND THIS - asian of -000 art valaiunt ....

He knows himself a great deal about birds, is en- thusiastic in regard to the number abd rarity of the species using his Island and , if I understand the purpose of the nwe society which you have in mind, he will make a most useful and active member. The other matter in which he is interested in is the preserva- tion of woods which cover the slight hill at the head of Some Sound. As you motor from Bar Harbor to Somesville, just after you come to the fork in the road which leads to Northeast Harbor on the Sound, you pass a farm on the right hand of the road, while on the left hand side of the road is a sign announcing that the place is called "See Far" and also a sign stating that 420 acres are for sale. The road then turns sharp- ly to the north and the woods are on either side of the road. My understanding is, that Mr.Arnold is interested in the woods back for a short distance on the right hand side of the road as well as perhaps, some of the woods on the left hand side. He says if they are cut down it will seriously affect the beauty of the Sound as you look to the north. If you secure enough of the woods to protect the view from the Sound, I feel certain that Mr. Arnold would contribute to the purchase. Mr. Arnold has extensive lumber interests. He is & man, I under- stand, of considerable means; about fifty years old. He was a partner of Algers, the Secretary of War under McKinley. - TORK ATT time - HG pite I'm HOLDERS Jeffer fo 245 1911 specifical 11119 PED ⑉ " 3. G. B. D.

Dear Mr. Rockofeller: The tract of 85 acres bought from William M. Roberts et al was for $13,500. and not for $13,000. This land was obtained, not upon a mortgage, but upon a direct loan from the Union Trust Company of Ellsworth, Maine, in the shape of a domand note, with interest payable semi- annually at the rate of 0% per annum. The last semi-annual payment of $405. due August 19, 1919, is still unpaid. The taxes for the present yiar. amounting to $122.40, are also unpaid. This note was secured by placing the title to the land in trust. in the name of the president of the bank, Mr. John A. Peters. It was the undorsthndins at the tire the note was originally given that payment should not be demanded (unless under extraordinary conditions and upon due notice) until sufficient time should have elapsed to enable Mr. Dorr to nature his plans and show to others the importance of this tract in relation to them.

As to the third class of debts, listed in your letter, I have communicated, ince receiving it, with Mr. Dorr's agent and family friend in Boston, Mr. Ingersoll Bowditch, with re- gard to Mr. Dorr's secured indebtedness and find it, on getting exact information, to be somewhat different from what I had understood, viz: $20,000., on demand, at 6% interest, loaned by the Merchants National Bank of Boston, with interest paid to July 1. 1919: and $10,000.. due September 19, 1919, at 6% interest discounted. loaned by the State Street Trust Company. These loans were both incurred A number of years ago, in meeting park expenses, along with others which have since been discharged by Mr. Dorr. The $20,000. loan represents part payment for the tract now estimated at $50,000.: the $10,000. loan represents in part payment for o'her portions of this land and in part various expenses, legal and other, incurred -s4 of #0898 ₫ brys 199 qu ailma sit of 080008 seafs doidw on Tea basis (268) Address all for sate SAINO have pl THRIS havesa aft Gift to edt to ono emoved you of - - - mail DA all mini adj at - - - - and as COM of Wing - - 070ml reach or USE as FORCE TO XXBI Emp the and 11 IIn ohis a £10 oth rot howeea I TOOY ni 90 made 1014 not =1 - trage g'ITOI .

Mr .Bowditch has not furnished me with any statement as to the collateral securing these loans but I can readily obtain this from him should it be desirable. with regard to the unsecured indebtedness which forms the remaining division listed in your letter, I have gone into this matter thoroughly and subdivided it in turn into three classes. (1) Direct loans, made on the park work's account. (2) Lebts continued as loans out of interest in that work. (3) Direct debts. In the first class are: 1st, Your own loan of $4,300.. whose conditions you know. 2nd, A loan of $10,000., made, similarly without interest, by a friend of Mr. Dorr in Boston at a critical period in his work. This loan was made by a porsonal friend, from personal motives, to save the work which must have been defeated had it not been made, and was mede by a person of moderate fortune who had no direct connection with Bar Harbor. The ultimate success of Mr. Dorr's work could not have been achieved without it, and it should be repaid. This friend's name Mr. Dorr has given me, but in accordance with the lander's wish he would not feel free, I know, to let it go beyond. aft 0+ rotty ,HOFFBATO s'iTHa sift to TOLSTOR 14 of BYOTI 50.8 eds 34 ... of ot an Afin OCT ton HAD 'M William J Tid names event adj (dertood ed ji outsi AGIT HIST ed + deldw erit of 15 th BLIT atni eved I of "COOT at boteli soloivis animisses 186 aBLD OGTAI afnit I get nit #1 birth art NO obsa CABOL 120710 (I) the arts ni tearstni to two 84801 33 bennitious alified (8) .ajdob JOSTIC (&) :073 82810 THILT urit x1 .word 5507 labar ,00&, ₽$ to HAOL awo INOY ,tal touthfr EIXBIIMIA roban to was A , bas aid ni Condition 1. to natural ni apply 1912 to 500149 . 15 SQYT insigi H 1 00 mm 8 877 100 id: 51 busef hotecies no-d BV 'd dutsi XTOW 07 IT of ,Horiton eautror otoreboa to a Ed OBAL 387 have ,98.21 freed Jon sit .TODTAH rad ₫t1w doorib on 5 - onix trodfiw Deveidon need evad fon 51100 KYOT BiTTCU .15 to special ear TTOC .TH OMPITS a'baotri Aids blaqet of hicoria ji 51.6 21 DISTOR ad datw Birobact ant 171s EON of Pid , 02 ANY .bnoyed OR ti jof of ,WOLK I ,ABIT feet tori J.D.R.Jr. #4- In the second class are: 1st, A debt of $5,000., incurred some years ago in connection with another matter of a public nature, which was continued at Mr. Dorr's request by the persons to whom it is due that he might be enabled to employ the money, temporarily, on this work. This, though made in 8 friendly spirit, is in effect & demand loan and the circumstances under which it was made. which Mr. Dorr has explained to me, make it especially desirable that it should be promptly paid, payment having now been asked for. Interest at the rate of 5% per annum is due upon it, but this is included in the sum stated, simple in- terest only being asked. 2nd, Two other debts of a similar kind, due to people who have at different times witnessed Mr. Dorr's work at Mount Desert and been interest in its success. who these people are and the circumst&nces under which these loans were mede I also know, and that it is necessary they should be repaid. One of them is for $1,500.; the other for $4,500. Neither has carried interest. In the thiru class are debts for work done, or materials supplied, in connection with Mr. Dorr's park work. Some of these debts are of long standing and have been penerously c on- tinued as virtual loans by people to whom they are due, out of interest and faith in the work that Mr. Dorr was doing: others : ITH Basis Anooos eat ml at 038 STACT 8308 borrwort .000 , at to Ideb A ,J&I aax dofifw offdaq 8 to TOTTER Taffons st J1 modw at ads vd jaeaper E'ITOU with jr ,FACOR elift swigh ot Baldan of rest tall sub at et B at ebam risport BINT drow sidt ARN It doidw rehns and bon WHI a tosito Plintoeqse Ft -- of Benta Iqxo sad TTOC .rl dolnw , oban from privad Image , bi q VItamora ed Bivoda +1 this gidzitees ni mg is to e+n't od# #3 .IOI need -nt alamia sdj nl bobsioni st eld't tod ,32 noon .boxan Baind VICEO adid elgoeq ot ouh July Talfute 8 to 3jdeb Iad to own ,tn8 the .IN beseentiw SCOTHITIS to oved 3TH navil ,SEAUDIA aft at Reed been Prased osis I o..... dis 301001 asedf doinx THE oft 123 to and .blaqer ed Bfuoda yess of ji 13nd Sm and befitne BBA .003, st Jot cede adt .000. 16 ret at medit TO , 4410 6 MOO rot atdob OIR MAIL bridt set LI to emoa XIEC 8'ITOU .TM dttn LOTTIHMOOO at Botlance -1W0 used widd 500 BOOL to OTH ats,3 saedt to tuo OTA cant mode of elqooq I and as Besnit aronto BAT XIOC "IM THIft Xrow onl it difing biter teststai J.D.R.J. #5- are recent, but all are due to the work that Mr. Dorr has been engaged upon in the formation of the National Park, and have been necessary to it. They are due variously for ccnstruction- al work, for surveys, for printing and publicity, for engineering consultation, etc., etc. They represent the gradual accumula- tion of a long continued work much the greater part of which has been paid for directly by Mr. Dorr personally as the work has gon along. In regard to them, as to the whole matter, I would like to state that, having watched the work go on for the last several years with intimate knowledge, I think Kr. Dorr has worked with remarkable economy of means to end, and that no- thing less than the expenditures which he has made in addition to his personal work and influence could have achieved the result which he has now accomplished. He has spent unsparingly of his own funds es plans for the park have needed, placing first the public end he was pursuing and his own affairs second, with the result that he has made each year since the work began important contributions toward it, and paid himself the cost of his campaign to the extent of his 8 bility as it went along. It is this that has resulted in leaving him, now that his end has been achieved in its first difficult stage and the co-operation of the government secured, burdened with the debts from which I am endeavoring to set him mead ⑉3₫ TIOC .

Dear Mr. Eno: This is to confirm the verbal pledge which I made the other day and which supersedes the one made in writ ing Aarlier. I will contribute toward the fund which you are raining for Mr. Dorr Five thousand dollars ($5,000), provided $25,00 is contributed by others. This provisio I make at your request, since in your judgment it will aid you in securing the two or three thousand dollars which you still lack. I will also cancel Mr. Dorr's indebtedness to me of $4,300. It is understood that the $5,000 will be added to the other $25,000, and that for the $30,000 thus secured, $30,000 worth of the lands owned by Mr. Dorr but bought having in mind the needs of the National Park, will be deeded to the Government by Mr. Dorr. It is also understood that the land for the purchase of which I loaned Mr. Dorr the $4,300, and which I assume is separate from the tract owned by Mr. Dorr which you value at fifty or sixty thousand dollars, will be deeded to the National Park. Mr. Dorr describes this land, in his letter to me of December 29th, 1916, E.S follows: "The second group of lands of which I spoke is that which ex- tends across the north or Kebo end of the same mountain and is mark- ed 'B' upon the map, colored yellow. It also has been slowly ac- quired as opportunity was found, and controls similarly a group of essentially important trails, while necessary also to complete the tract upon this north side, being a sharply defined projection north- ward of this main granite ridge. It is bounded on the west and north by the brook which comes from Green Mountain Gorge, and it looks down eastward on the Great Meadow, a great portion of which I have myself a lready placed in reservation as a personal gift. The trails it carries are those which connect the Jordan Pond and Eagle Lake region with the main mounte in group, from Dry to Sargent, with the Bar Harbor region. There are no alternate routos that can re- place them except those just spoken of that pass through the first tract and continue northward through Otter Creek Gorge. "The total cost at which the second group of land stands charg- ed in my memoranda is $4,300, which is far less proportionately than that of any land 1 this neighborhood at the present time, though only one such tract - that lying to its we st - carries any path control." In my letter of January 2nd, 1917, to Mr. Dorr I said: "If still more funds are needed in order to enable you to meet the obligation of $4,300 referred to in your letter of December 29th, as the purchase price of tract 'B' on the northern slope of Green Mountain OLIVE STIT enter EBOE erer , as :ONE ,Ill taed TONJO IN 95.301 I doldw 03501q Indiav edt MITNOS of BI BINT IIIN I FIITAN sai tirn NY 8110 Adt doldw 5013 288 evit IIOQ I'l ro QUIBIST 9T3 yoy doidy BANT BIff BISHOT arento vd hatsdirtnoo ai 000 behivora staffob Basaboift ti WOT nj nonia TISOV, TB AXAM I ofalvosq stat stoy dol dw TO out art ai STOT big flbw 10 AM of .TM Leonary OBIB IIIw I ,NOBE ESITS ed t of bohbs 9d Ifiw 000 de ant t df ai J.I .00E, # NJIO7 000,08$ hervooa assdt 000,083 out IOZ JGNI 5013 ,000,038 Tenfo abeen ed bain ni griven tidd TIOG I'M 2d borwo 8 60 B E snf to ITOA .XM Ed TREMITOVOR sdf at 5.5000 ed IIIW ,NIBI IBNOITSM ent to I doldw to add IOZ 5ABI edf Jadt Q&I.3 at JI edf nort at 9MW228 I doldw 80 B ,00E.

This pledge of up to $4, 300 I should be glad to have recorded as moneys placed at your disposal if needed to cover an emergency If later on other people interested in the monument can be found to purchase this tract for the monument, it would be understood that this money would be returned to me." In my letter of January 4th, 1917 to Mr. Dorr, I said : "And on the other hand, the advance of this $4,300 is made in the hope that you will some time be able to interest some other person in the purchase of this tract as 8 gift to the monument, in which event the advance made by me would be returned to me. I am sorry that in making this pledge, which amounts to a total of $9,300, I have not come up to your expectations of what I had in mind to do, these expectations apparently being based, as you in- timated, upon the request for further information which I made at Mrs. Markoe's luncheon some weeks go. I thought in asking for the information that it was essential, in order to enable Mr. Dorr to know just where he stood and that it would also be essential in order to enable you to determine what of Mr. Dorr's obligations should first be satisfied. If I had not asked for the information, either you or Mr. Dorr would ha ve been obliged to collect it before the purpose which you are seeking to carry out could have been effected. At the outset it was not in my mind to contribute more than the $2,000 which I mentioned to you. I increased that amount to $5,000 and added the $4,300 partly because of my interest in securing to the Park as much land as possible, partly because of my desire to assist Mr. Dorr, but even in larger measure because I have appreciated the hard work which you have done in connection with the matter all summer and because I was sorry to disappoint your expectations. I talked the whole matter over quite fully with Dr. Eliot the other day, telling him of our conferences at the various stages, of my original purpose and pledge and of its in- crease in our last interview. I was glad to find that the Doctor seemed well satisfied with what had agreed to do, and he express- ed himself unqualifiedly as feeling that I was do ing 811 and more than my share. I make this lengthy explanation only because at my request you were frank enough to intimate what was in your mind, from which I infer that I am doing rather less than more than you had hoped I would do. Since I am leaving for New York tomor row, I shall no see you again, but hope that in the near future you will have com- pleted the fund and accomplished that for which you have spent your- self SO unreservedly this summer.

My dear Henry, I have your letter of October 6, and have sent the check for $25,000 to Mr. Lynar, as requested. I assume that you have arranged that all of George's debts will be liquidated, as originally planned. Please accept my hearty congrstulations on the brilliant manner in which you have handled this fund. Yours as ever, whole Professor Henry Lane Eno, Bar Harbor, Maine. Bar Harbor, Maine, July 18, 1919. Hon. John A. Peters, House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Peters: The community on Mount Desert Island, including both residents and summer residents, are getting up a testi- monial to Mr. Dorr for his work in putting through the Lafayette National Park. The committee in charge is headed by Pres. Eliot, Bishop Lawrence and Judge Deasy. I am very anxious that your name and that of Senator Hsle should be included in this committee. The object of the testimonial is to present additional lands purchased from Mr. Dorr to the Park in the name of the C ommunity, in this way both helping the Park and aiding Mr. Dorr in the burden which he has borne so unselfishly for some years. Would it trouble you too much to see Senator Hale and if you are both willing to have your names included telegraph me n single word "yes", as we are anxious to start things as soon as possible. The use of your names entails no obligation aside from your approval of a testimonial with which I am sure you will be entirely in sympathy. Very a incerely yours, The 02.24/19 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE WASHINGTON I do not think that ner Kour can afford to Kenr county the impussion (already as you provelent in certain qualens that this fund and what it of Tams for the community is not are the lene.

In regard to certain of the subscribers at any rate - members of the committee like Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Cuyler, Mrs. Kane, Mrs. Anson, and some others - I feel that a policy of concealment will create a most unfavorable impression, and effectually inter- fere with further contributions. We might got over the difficulty by sending a general letter, such as you suggest, to all subscribers, and, in addition, an accurate statement with plan to a list of names decided upon by you and me. I do not see why that would not meet the situation. As for me, I am responsible for the whole matter, and I am unwilling to act in any way not per- foutly above board. The committee has guaranteed that lands will be conveyed to the Park in consideration of the sum rais- ed by the subscribers; the first question any of them may ask, and many of them will ask is "what lands were conveyed" ? How can I refuse legitimate information ? You must see that I simply cannot afford to put myself in an equivocal position ou this matter. Please let me know, as soon as you can, what your opinion is, Yours A. I. Eno October 29, 1919. Mr. Henry Lane Eno, Princeton, N.J. Dear Mr. Eno: In answer to yours of the 24th I beg tiD stille that I had no intention whatever of suggesting in my letter any policy of concealment. What I did suggest. for reasons stated, was the inudvisability, ns it seemed to me, of sending out & printed diugram of the ownerships in that section which would show publicly the lands enclosed within the area convoyed and still nooding to be acquired, and of avoiding as far possible, among the local people here, a discussion of land values in reference to the park. NO question ought to exist as to the value of the lands con- veyed by Mr. Dorr in return for the purchase money. It was or- iginally his intention. as .70u know, to include a larger nrea, but the tract conveyed Boomed to ua equivalent to the Amount subscribed. If this seems to others open to question I feel sure Mr. Dorr would still wish to carry out his original plan. The deed from Mr. Dorr has bo on recorded and I are enclosing a copy of it, together with R rough pencil diagram showing both the land convoyed by Mr. Dorr and the lands still outstanding. The red lines encircle the tract conveyed by Mr. Dorr and also the outstandi as lands which are surrounded by blue. Very truly yours, L/H October 29, 1919. Mr. Henry Lane Eno, Princeton, N.J.

The indebtauness set forth in the statement seems to b6 of three kinds: 1st - Indebtedness secured by mortgay 6s amounting to - -$14,250. 2ng - Unsecured indebtedness amounting to 43,800. 3rd - Indebtedness secured by collateral amounting to- 27,000. A total of $85,050. Possibly you have fuller data in regard to all of these matters. Certainly it would seem to me that no intelligent action could be had, with reference to which debt should be paid from the fund which you are raising, unless complete data in ragard to all of the dibbs was at hand. I had hoped your statement would include this full date, not more for my sake than for your own and Mr. Dorr's. Referring to the several classes of indebtedness, the following is the fuller information which I should be glad to see: Under the first heading, there is a tract of 6 acres bought from Samuel Bates, on which $750. hus been borrowed; also a tract of 25,000 square feet bought from Luther A. Leach for $500. These two tracts are spoken of 88 part of a large tract worth $50,000, which forms the eastern boundary of the park. That these two small pieces are essen- 2. tial parts of the tract is not mentioned. It may be that they are in consequential and could as well as not be given up for the sake of the cencellation of the obligations incurred in their purchase. No mention is made of the rate of interest in either case or of whether taxes had been paid. Of course this data must be known to someone, and Mr. Dorr will need to know it in order to know just where he stands. The third tract under this first heading is a tract of 85 acres bought from Villiam M. Roberts for $13,000, held in trust by Mr. Peters. Nothing indicates when this note becomes due. As to the second heading, unsecured indebtedness, one would like to know who have loaned the various sums referred to in Boston and Bar Harbor, on what terms as to rate of interest, duration of the loan, to what extent interest has bean paid, whether the notes are overalie; and so for 68 the outstanding debts to contractors and others locally are concerned, to whom they are owed and what the exact total is. This same data is desirable in regard to the unsecured loan of $ 5,000 which appears under the same heading, payment of which has already been demand- ed. As to the third class of debts, one naturally asks what banks have made the loans, how much in each bank, what the collateral is, how long the loan runs for, what the rate of interest is, and to what extent interest has been paid, also for the payment of what lands in the park they have been incurred. The total of all of these obligations doss not surprise me as much as I presume it does you, for I had assumed it would run to at least $50,000. To pay star 25,000 of the loans would, of course, help Mr. 3. Dorr, but it does not in any sense solve the problem or secure to the park the possession of those lands which are represented by the loans. How reasonably sure do you feel that the statement which you have prepared covers the full extent of Mr. Dorr's obligations incurred in connection with the park, and are there not apt to be other matters cropping up which he has forgotten about? Now would seem to be the time to search garret and cellar and get an absolutely complete and accurate detailed statement of all of the obligations related to the park. If Mr. Dorr once knows exactly his financial situation, it will be easier for him to work out a solution of the problem. I am going to New York on Monday, but shall be back the lat- ter part of the week. Very truly, John Mr. Henry L. Eno, Bar Harbor, Maine. JOHN A. PETERS, M. C.

PETERS OFFICES AT COUNSELOR AT LAW PETERS & KNOWLTON ELLSWORTH AND BAR HARBOR JOHN F. KNOWLTON COUNSELOR AT LAW Ellsworth Me., May 13, 1912. Mr. George B. Dorr, Bar Harbor, Maine, Dear Mr. Dorr:- I made a trip to-day to the western side of the Island in an automobile. The roads are very rough and in addition it has rained about all day. Measures must be taken to get these roads in better shape. I am writing the Selectmen and Road Commissioners of these towns suggesting to them to put on the split-log drag immediately. The most of the way the roads are free of rocks and only need to have them dragged with a split-log to fill up all the holes and smooth the ruts out. This is incidental, but it will help property in that locality very much. I met Ober by appointment at Pretty Marsh and with him went all over the property, or over enough of it so I could tell who owns the whole of it. Ober has previously been trying to buy parts of it from time to time, but with no success. He is somewhat familiar with the prices they ask for it. The following information I gathered from Ober and various sources:- The smaller point, including everything to the westward of the first narrows, (not the Squid Cove narrows, but the narrows nearest the head- land) being the main headland and the point extending south from it and con- taining in the whole some three-hundred acres, or, possibly, more, is owned largely by the Samuel estate and the Maine Company, which is a corporation organized by Samuel and the stock of which is probably owned by him. The whole ownership of Samuel and this Company is not in this headland, I think some fifty acres lying to the eastward of it. In addition to the ownership of Samuel and the Company I find that the point extending south from the big headland, which point contains about fifty acres, is owned one undivided half by Daniel S. Emery, Charles S. Cook, Eben B. Cook and some others, of Portland (the other half is owned by Samuel). About a year ago Ober offered these Portland people $100.00 an acre for their holdings and it was refused. Of course Ober regarded $100.00 as a moderate price. It is certainly a very fine point. Next north of this point comes an ownership in Thomas W. Burr and others, of Bangor. They own about fifteen acros. It was bought by them a good many years ago during an activity in land on that coast and pro- bably stands them at a pretty high figure, but it does not follow that they would insist upon that figure if they had an opportunity to sell. The other side of the Burr ownership towards the east and running down towards what I call the narrows, being a low place, which is the shortest distance across from water to water, comes Allen Freeman with about fifty acres and a very good and fairly large white house and some out-build- NOTJWOWN . 883731 SIDE 16% you And .0 office - - .......... 180 -10900 - 112 as health 1: sale with 03 also .
