I note you expect to get the Church lot closed before you leave and to see Mr. Edwards in Boston. This latter is the next most important thing to get straightened out. The Thomas and Ladd lots there is no hurry about. You have written me quite in detail about the Thomas and Sarvis lot complications. Perhaps this is meant for Mr. Heydt, Mr. Debevoise or Mr. Aldrich. As you know, I do not burden myself to pass on any questions of title, but leave them for my associates, who I assume in this as in other cases are in communication with you in regard to these matters.

Dear Mr. Dorr: Enclosed herewith please find deed from you to Mr. R. of the Church Lot at Seal Harbor. Will you please sign this deed, and have it acknowledged and return it to me as soon as possible. Yours very truly, Middletown, Conn. April 20th, 1900 J. T. Peters, Esq., Ellsworth, Me. Dear Sir: This morning I called on Mr. Walter C. Jones, the trustee of the residuary estate of Amel ia C. Glover. He says that his aunt bought the Maine real estate in her life time, but that no mention was made of it in the receipt given by him to Mr. Jackson, because he did not receive title to it as trustee, that is it remains in the name of his aunt, and he as trustee of the estate is now endeavoring to have the property or its proceeds aparted to the devisees. Yet I do not see how this can be effected so long as the trust under the will exists. But that is none of my business. I believe you now have all the information needed to determine the parties interested. Mrs. Henrietta Jones, Mrs. Eliza Pine (widow) and Angelica Glover, Spinster, are all living. I think Mrs. Henrietta Jones' husband is also dead. Yours truly W. J. deMausiac Atty Copy Middletown August 11th Mr. Peters: Dear Sir: On receipt of your letter of Augus t 8th I spoke to several persons who are interested in the lot of land at Seal Harbor owned by Mr.Cooksey, Mrs. Moore etc. -I feel & others to whom I have spoken, that the land is of such small value, that we do not care to incur any expense for surveying.Miss Seldon, who owns a large part of this un- divided property, does not wish to go to any expense in regard to it. We have held the land for many years & received no return for it. Would Mr. Cooksey like to purchase the property of the Syndicate at the price paid for it in 1867? Twenty two hundred dollars. One person told me they would be willing to sell on those terms and a faur interest allowed on the same. If Mr. Cooksey were to make an offer for the property, if he cares for it, the different owners might come to some agreement on the subject. For the estate of Amelia C. Glover Per H. G.

Peters, Esq., Counsellor at Law Dear Sir: In reply to your favor of 12th, evidently a rush letter, I was about to go to the Golf Course, a business to which I devote every decent Saturday afternoon, but I sacrificed myself to your letter. Mr. Jones is not in town, and I therefore had recourse to the Probate records here from which I obtained the desired information without much difficulty. Amelia C. Glover is dead. The trustee of her estate is Walter C. Jones. Her heirs at law are as follows, viz: 1. Henrietta G. Jones and her children Walter C. Jones, Mary G. Jones and Catherine D. Jones 2 2. Angelica Glover 3. Eliza G. Pine and her children Frederick G. Pine and Francis R. Pine; these two are minors. 1. Henrietta, 2. Angelica, and 3. Eliza are sisters of Amelia Glover. All the Boregoing except the Pine family are residents of this city, the Pines live in Elizabeth City New Jersey. Any further information you can obtain by writing me. Send me $3. and oblige Yours truly, W. J. deMauriac Atty Copy April 19, 1900 John A. Peters, Esq. Counsellor at Law. Dear Sir: Your "special delivery" was handed to me at 1:30 P. M. & I set about procuring the information you ask for. I thought it best to give you a copy of the will which I made & incluse herewith. It says nothing about any land in Maine, nor does it refer to any trustee named W. C. Jones. Therefore I sought & found, after copying the will, Mrs Charles E. Jackson, the Executor. He was on his with to the train for N. Y. & had but a few minutes in which to speak with me. He told me where I could find a receipt or two receipts ( (Copies inclosed) signed by W. C. Jones as Trustee. It seems that the trustee named in the will, Chas. A. Hawley did not serve and Jackson, the Executor, was appointed in his place. Later on, when the nephew of testatrix came of age or shortly afterward, Jackson resigned and Walter C. the nephew referred to, was appointed as trustee and is still trustee under the said will. You will observe that the receipts given by Jones do not mention any Maine real estate. Jones is out of town. As soon as he returns I will ask him how this realty came into the estate & repeat it to you. 2 Strictly speaking there were no heirs at law. There were several devisees or legatees more properly. I have spent nearly the whole afternoon on this & therefore make my bill considerably more, 0--- that is more than the $3. mentioned in my first letter. If you want any further information let me know & if it does not create too much labor, I will make no further charges. Trusting this information given will fill your wants. I am, Yours truly, W. J. DeMauriac Atty Sept. 18, 1928. Mr. WalterC. Jones, 353 Main Street, Middletown, Conn. Dear Mr. Jones: I have yours of September 17th making clear our understanding in connection with the sale of the Seal Harbor property. The first step will be to obtain from the probate court in Connecticut an authenticated copy of the will of Miss Glover, and also an authenticated copy of the probate allowing the will. Upon receipt of these authenticated.copies I will prepare the petition asking for its allowance and the other papers necessary and will forward them to you for signature. As soon as the will is allowed I will then draft a deed from the heirs to the Church and a deed from the Church to my client. Yours very truly, WALTER C. JONES 315 MAIN STREET MIDDLETOWN, CONN.

Dear Mr. Jones: I beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of September 13th advising me that the Church will sell the Mount Dosert property for $2500. net the purchaser to pay all legal and other expenses in connection with transfer of title. You do not definitely say that the sale is to include the interest standing on the records in the name of your late Aunt Mrs. Glover, but fiyom my conversation with Mr. Allin I assume this is intended. I also assume that there will be no legal fees or expenses incurred in connection with this matter in Connecticut other than the fees to be paid to the Probate Court for copies for use in connection with the probate of the estate in this jurisdiction. That there will be no necessity for counsel fees there. The probate expenses here as well as my services will be, of course, paid by my client. I know of no other expense that is necessary in onnection with the matter. Under this understanding my client is willing to go ahead with the matter. Yours very truly, WALTER C.

Mr. Walter C. Jones, 353 Main Street, Middletown, Conn. Dear Mr. Jones: Referring to your letter of September 5th enclosing copy of the will of Amelia C. Glover, I beg to say that under this will under the residuary clause third, it ap pears that the property in question passed to the testatrix' trustees to hold and pay the income thereof to Mrs. Honrietta Jones during her lifetime, and after the death of Mrs. Jones the income to be paid to her children, until the youngest of such children shall have reached the age of twenty-one years, at which time the trustee shall transfer the entire estate to the children. I understand from Mr. Allin that Mrs. Jones is now living, that her children are yourself, Walter C. Jones, and Mary G. Jones; that Catherine Jones another child died unmarried; and that the surviving children are all of age. It will be necessary in order to have the property pass under the will, to have the will probated in this jurisdiction, have the appointment of trustee as well as executor, and if the property is to pass to a third person that a deed from the trustee and from Mrs. Henrietta Jones as well as a deed from yourself W.C.J. 9/11/28 -2 and Mary G. Jones. It will also be necessary to know whether Catherine O. Jones was married and whether she had issue. In the petition asking for your a ppointment as trustee you could set forth that Charles A. Hawley trustee named in the will has deceased. In additionto the authenticated copy of the will it will be necessary to have an authenticated copy of the probate proceedings allow ing the will, all of which should be accompanied by a petition addressed to our Court asking for its allowance here. If I have not given you all the Information you desire please let me know and I will add to it. Yours very truly, WALTER C. JONES 315 MAIN STREET MIDDLETOWN CONN. REMOVED TO 353 MAIN ST.

H. Lynam, Bar Harbor, Maine. Dear Mr. Lynam: Yours with Deeds enclosed duly received. I have looked these over with some care and find the following: In the Deed from myself, mother and sister to the Church I see it states that mother is unmarried, whereas she is a widow. I am married however. Please advise how that should be corrected. Also, I note a warranty clause in this Deed. In view of the fact that these heirs are giving the property to the Church they are not willing to sign anything in the way of a warranty in connection with this Deed, simply to Quit-claim their interest to the Church. We know nothing whatever about the title, whereas you have every opportunity to ascertain as to same. As regards the Deed from the Church Society, I do not think any Ecclesiastical Society under the laws of this State would be competent to sign a Warranty Deed. Such a Corporation always transfers by a it-Claim. The idea being of course that the Trustees can not bind the Society over an indefinate time. I also notice in the acknowledgement of the Deed from the several heirs my name only is mentioned. Should not my mother's and sister's names and possibly my wife's name be also mentioned. Will you kindly look into this further and let me hear from you.

Mr. Walter C. Jones, 353 Main Street, Middletown, Conn. Dear Mr. Jones: I have yours of November 27th. The deeds I sent you are not warranty deeds, they are quit-claim deeds with covenants of warranty against the acts of the grantor only. I agree with you that where you are giving your interest to the Church, you should not be asked to even sign a warranty as to your own acts. I am therefore enclosing a redrafted deed, leaving out the warranty clause. In the deed from you as trustee, if you desire, you may draw a pen line through the second paragraph on the second page beginning with the words " And I do covenant" and ending with the words "Trustee under the will of Amelia C. Glover", although it would be perfectly safe and proper for you to sign it as it is. As to the deed from the Church, it is also a quit-claim deed with covenants as against its acts only and as the Church is conveying the property for full consideration it seems to me it could and should warrant the title to that extent at least. It is perfectly safe for it to so. If, however, the Church 8 Mr. W. C. J. 11/30/28 -2 does not want to execute it as drawn, please let me know and I will take the matter up with my client and advise you. As to the acknowledgement, under our law an acknowledge= ment by one of the grantors is sufficient. Very truly yours, *1 April 16, 1923. Mr. Robert W. Gumbel 26 Brondway New York City Dear Mr. Gumbel:- Referring to yours of April 11 enclosing letter from Arthur Is Allin, Treasure of the Middletown Savings Bank regarding promerty at Seal Harbor, I beg to say that I find on the records an abstract of the will of Elizabeth H. woodward in which the deceased, after certai n pecuniary bequests, devised all her real estate under the residuary clouse to the "Society of the Church of the Holy Trinity of Middletown, Conne" I find a deed from Charles C. Ladd and Arthur M. Poss to Elizabeth H. woodward of nine forty fourths of a lot in Seal Harbor. , This lot is the only lot taxed by the town to the Church. The remainder of the property was conveyed to other people and may or may not have become vested in the Church. I am e nclosing an abstract of the deed and a pencil sketch showing that the lot is located next west of the lot known as the Day mountain lot. I communicated with Mr. Atwood, one of the assessors of the town of Mount Desert and he tells me that there is about five acres on the front that is dry; that the balance is low and swampy. Mr. R.W.G. -2- 4-16-23 I have made no examination for conveyances by Mrs. Woodward assuming that she owned the property at the time of her death. I am returning Mr. Allin's letter unanswered having kept a cony for my files. I do not believe the lot is necessary for Mr. Rockefeller's purposes. Should he, however, desire further information, kindly advise me. Very truly yours, AHL:G Enclosures 2 26 Broadway New York April 11th, 1923.

Dear Brother Rodick: I have yours of the 19th, in the matter of bond in the estate of Abbie M. Fiske. If the will does not excuse the executors from bond with sureties, I presume it would be necessary for them to file a bond, either with personal sureties residing in the state, or a surety bond. If the estate consists of real estate only, it should be, in my opinion, a nominal bond of $100. If there is personal estate, while the usual requirement is in twice the value; I would be satisfied, under the conditions as you state them, with a bond which would cover the personal estate.

She owned some property between Seal and Northeast Harbor. This property has been bargained for the price of $400. There are two executors, one by the name of Herbert Fiske and the other Ethel F. Fisk. These executors are son and daughter of the deceased. One is in Arizona and the other in Massachusetts. In preparing the bond for this estate I would like to know the amount you will require and if you desire that sureties be furnished. Yours very truly, SBR:AM April 6, 1928. Theodore Hoague, Esq., 84 State Street, Boston, Mass. Dear Sir: In accordance with your letter of February 27th I have prepared a Quit-Claim deed without covenants, of the Seal Harbor land which I am enclosing in order that you may, as you say, start it on its travels. The deed. should not be dated or acknowledged until after the bond from Mr. Herbert Fiske has been received and filed here. It should then be acknowledged by one of the Grantors before a Notary Public. In your offer of December 22nd nothing was said- as to the form of deed. I therefore assumed that the parties would warrant the title as against their own acts. However I do not suppose that is material as a QuiteClaim deed conveys all interest the Grantors may have. Creditors of a deceased estate have twelve months in which to prove their claims. In order that there may be no necessity for waiting the twelve months could you write me setting forth that the estate of Abby M. Fiske had ample personal estate to pay all creditors and also would you kindly have forwarded a copy of the final account with a decree of allowance in the estate of Harold B. Fiske in order that I may know that all claims of ereditors in that estate have been paid. Could you also let me know T.H. 4/6/28 -2- the exact date Harold B. Fiske died.

Dear Mr. Hoague:- I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of January 12th concerning the estate of Abby M. Fiske. It will be sufficient if the petition for ancillary probate is signed by one of the executors. However, the appointment of agent should be signed by both executors. If you will have the petition for probate signed by the executor who is here, and also the petition for appointment of agent, then forward us the petition for probate and forward the petition for appointment of agent to the executor in California, It will in all probability be returned here in ample time for action in the Probate Court as the petition for probate has three weeks' notice before it is necessary to file the appointment of agent.

Fisk, one of his adminis- trators. I am informed that in 1922 a sale was made of a piece of land near Hulls Cove by the heirs of Mary Fiske Stoughton. The heirs at that time, as recited in the deed referred to, were Maud Fiske Flint, of Cambridge, in the County of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, widow of the late Grover Flint; Harold B. Fiske, of said Cambridge; Ethel Fiske of Petersham, in the County of Worcester and Commonwealth aforesaid, wife of Otis D. Fisk; and Herbert H. Fiske, of Pasadena, in the County of Los Angeles, and State of Calif- ornia; being the only living children of the late John Fiske and together with the late Clarence S. Fiske (a deceased child of said John Fiske) being the only heirs of Mary Fiske Stoughton, late of said Cambridge, deceased; Margaret G. Fiske, of said Petersham, widow and sole legatee of said Clarence S. Fiske; and Abbie M.

Fiske, Abbie M. Fiske, widow of John Fiske, Otis D. Fisk, husband of Ethel F. Fisk. Harold B. Fiske died intestate, administration being taken out on his estate in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. His only heirs were Maud Fiske Flint, Ethel F. Fisk, Herbert H. Fiske, and Margaret(se, John, Dorothy B. and Barbara, all of New York City, all unmarried and all of age, children of his deceased brother Clarence S. Fiske. Abbie M. Fiske died testate in Cambridge, Meddlesex County, and her executors are Ethel F. Fisk and Herbert H. Fiske. Otis D. Fisk, husband of Ethel F. Fisk died September 8g 1926, so that she is now a widow. I construe your letter to mean that there is apparently an outstanding 3/11ths undivided interest in the heirs of Mary Fiske Stoughton in about twenty acres of land, for which your client is offering $50 an acre. I am not authorized to say definitely that all the heirs will sell, but I believe they will, provided the price is a fair market price for the land. I suggest that you write me that your client will pay so many dollars for a deed of the 3/11ths interest in question and that you send me draft of a deed which will be satisfactory to you. I will then undertake to submit the proposition to the various interests. I find record of a deed from Haud Fiske Flint to her mother Abbie M. Fiske recorded in Hancock Registry Book 428 Page 306 which may or may not have some bearing on the parcel in question. Very truly yours, (signed) Theodore Hoague TH/T December 1, 1927.

It is a tract of land extending Northerly from the County Road a short distance east of Clement's Garage. The entire tract contains about twenty acres. Can you tell me whether the property is for sale and at what price and also who claims to own it at the present time as representatives of Mrs. Stoughton.

This is a fair price for the Society's land taken as a whole. of course a portion on the back end would not be worth as much per acre as the entire tract or the portion on the town road.
