COPY. Dec. 6, 1911. Henry Wellington, Esq., Boston, Mass. Dear sir: I have yours of the 29th of November a owledging receipt of Abstract of the lot at West Gouldsboro. We have looked the matter up and find that the same has never been conveyed. There are probably tax liens against it, but it will show in the Town Clerk's office. We know nothing abo it the value of the property, or its occupation. Where it has been abandoned for so many years it is qu te possible that adverse occupation has existed to some extent and could only be ascertained by an examination on the spot. In connection with the title to this lot, which is identical to some extent with the title to a lot at Otter Creek, which we have been looking up for successors of Eliza A. Bridges, Trustee, the lot being covered by mortgages from the late Connelius Wellington to Mrs. Brigges and later by a Warranty deed of the equity of redemption. We have had some difficulty in getting the title straightened out and now we are up against a possible claim against both the Otter Creek property and any other property there may be, including, I suppose, the interest in the Grouldsboro property and the small lots to be sold Mr. Ober, this trouble being some kind of a claim of John S. Patton against the late Darius Wellington. I enclose you copies of what appears on record here, so that you may see what it is. I do not find that John S. Patton has ever con- veyed the property or the interest acquired by him in it. le have either got to take some proceedings against him or get a deed from him or his heirs to wipe this out. of c ourse his clai so faras the Bridges' lot at Otter Creek is concerned is subject to mortgages, which are larger in amount by far than the value of the land and he would not care to take them up, but at the same time the t ing ought to be wiped off. It is probable you may know who he is and how we can get at him, or his estate. This is clearly for your benefit as well as that of Mrs. Bridges and I should be glad if you would give me any information you have in regard to the matter. Yours truly, F.S. I have sent a copy of these same proceedings to my cousin, L.W. Peters, a Lawyer of 43 T emont st., and asked him to co-operate with you in obtaining the necessary releases. I should be glad if you would go and see him and give him any information you have in regard to the matter so that he can assist in the legal end of it. Enc , Yours truly, COPY. HENRY W . WELLINGTON CO. Agents for Silver Lake Co. 78 Chauncy Street Boston, April 22 1912. Mr. Merritt T. Ober, Northeast Harbor, Ne. Dear Sir:- Darius !ellington and Cornelius Wellington were brothers and uncles of mine. Herbert D. Wellington of Denver is Dariuss's only heir. As to just how this land stands I really have never known and have not considered it of suffici ent value to W arrant my investigating the matter, except by asking you and one or two others to give me what information you had. I kno that Cornelius always spoke of this as belonging to him and in his estima ti on he had a perfectly good title. Just where Darius can come in I do not know. If there is any further information I can give you I shall be very glad to do so. Yours very truly (sgd) H. W. Wellington.

Lynan Attorney at Law Bar Harbor, Maine Dear Sir; Mr. H. D. Wellington has submitted to us some correspondence which he had in 1926 and 1927 with Mr. Lemuel W. Peters, attorney, at 43 Tremont Street, Boston, Mass., who was apparently handling the matter in question for John A. Peters. connected with the United States Courts at Boston. The matter involved a tract of land on Mount Desert Island, a few miles east of Beal Harbor, and a copy of a letter dated February 4, 1926 from John A. Peters to L. W. Peters outlines the situation and requests Mr. Lemuel IV. Peters to get releases from certain of the Wellington heirs. In the course of the correspondence Mr. Peters stated that if our client did not release it would be necessary for him to institute some proceeding to require the Wellington heirs to snow title. Mr. Wellington has never received notice of any such proceeding and cannot find that any was taken. A week or so ago I wrote to Lemuel id. Peters and I am now advised by the Postal authorities that he is deceased. Finding your name in the correspondence, apparently as representing Mr. Dorr, who was acquiring this property, I am writing to you to ascertain what, if any, proceedings have been taken with reference to the outstanding interests of the Wellington heirs and, particularly, to Herbert D. Wellington, our client. Any information you can give me about the present situation will be appreciated.

Gontlemen: Renlying to your letter of September 25th, I personally Hove no knowledge of the matter. I will, howdver, make inquiries and advise you as soon as may be. Very truly your's, October 9, 1930 Hon. John A. Peters, Ellsworth, Maine. Dear Mr.Peters: Your letter to me of February 6, 1926, in connection with Black Woods gives & history of the Wellington interest, in which you state that Cornelius Wellington's pronerty E a s devised to his three sisters Caroline Cellington, Eliza Welling- ton and Louise Peasley. We had deeds from Caroline and Louise, leaving Eliza's interest outstanding, thich you say is five acres but accord- inc to my napers seems to be only two acres, in which re are interested. Eliza's interest passed to her too sisters, and the family of three brothers, Darius, Andrew and Henry. Yourexected to gct deeds from the ir heir3. According to my memorandum the will of Cornelius was probated here in 1912, devising his estate of Caroline, Eliza and Louise, and the survivor of them. The authenticated papers omit the name of Eliza. Isn't it therefore quite prob- able that Eliza predecrased Cornelius and if so her interedt Hon. J.A.P. 10/9/30 -2 would DASS to Caroline and Louise. In your letter you suggest my taking title relying upon the warronty in the deed. !"ould it not be well to ascertain if possible whether Elize prededecsed.Cornelius, in which case nothing further need be done.
