George L. Stebbins, Esq.
Seal Harbor, Maine.
Dear Mr. Stebbins:
I beg to acknowledge receipt of yours of
the 13th with reference to the purchase from Mr. George N.
Jorden of the remainder of his wood lot, together with certain
personal property and also excepting certain property.
Various sums are paid to bind a contract of this
sort ranging anywhere from $10. up.
I should think that
$50. or $100. would be a proper payment to make. And as to
the form of a receipt, that an option of purchase would be
the best. I am enclosing such an option but without the
amount of the payment, which you can have Mr. Jordan sign
if you approve the form.
I understand that the usual commission for making
a sale is, as you say, 5% of the price of the land and this
seems to me would in this case be a proper charge.
Very truly yours,
AHL:G

Dear Mr. Lynam:-
Enclosed is contract of purchase and sale
for George N. Jordan, duly executed.
I paid $100 on this and have charged it up
to Mr. Rockefeller but do not know whether you are to
obtain the payment from him or I am to send him a bill.
Please let me know about this.
I presume you are going ahead with the survey
of the lot and arranging all matters connected with the
transfer of title with Mr. Jordan after I am gone.
Yours very truly,

Mr. George N. Jordan,
Seal Harbor, Maine.
Dear Mr. Jordan:-
Referring to our conversation of the other day, Mr.
Rockefeller says that he will buy the remainder of your
lot on the Jordan Pond Road at the price you set, viz., $200
per acre, and he will take the stone crusher with its equipment
also for the price fixed, viz., $1250.
It is understood that this doesnot include the camp which
is on the property but not near the stone crusher, nor the
wagon and the forge if they are still on the lot, but it does
include the crusher and all equipment used with it.
It is also understood that your son Edwin C. Jordan is to
be allowed a reasonable time say until July 1st, 1924 in which
to remove the rock on the property which he has already crushed
but that he is not to crush any more.
Yours very truly,

Mr. A. H. Lynam,
Bar Harbor, Maine.
Dear Mr. Lynam:-
Under instructions from Mr. Rockefeller I have bought for his
account from Mr. George N. Jordan the remainder of his wood lot
situated on the west side of the Jordan Pond Road at the rate of $200.
per acre, Mr. Rockefeller also to pay Mr. Jordan $1250. for the stone
crusher now on the property including all of the apparatus used with
the crusher but not including the camp building some distance away
from the crusher on the eastern portion of the property, nor the
wagon and a forge now supposed to be on the property, nor the rock
belonging to his son Edwin C. Jordan which has been already crushed.
Mr. Jordan is to be given until July 1st, 1924 to remove his
crushed rock, but he is not to crush any more and also is to be given
until that time to remove the camp but the forge and wagon will
of course be moved immediately.
I have confirmed this trade with Mr. Jordan by letter sending
a copy to Mr. Rockefeller and I enclose you accopycherewith. Mr.
Rockefeller suggests that à payment be made on account and asks me to
arrange with you about that. Please let me know what you think would
be a proper payment to make and if you think best suggest a form of
receipt to be exchanged for it.

I explained to Mr. Rockefeller that owing to the fact that Mr.
Jordan's price was the same as he received for the other portion I
could not very well make the trade and get a commission from him, and
he told me he would do whatever was right with my office in that
purchase
respect. The usual commission for making a x of that kind would
be 5% of the price of the land, not of course including the stone
crusher, but I should like your judgment as to whether or not
this would be a proper charge because I only wish to do what is right.
Yours very truly,
