Samuel Adams to Richard Yates

Jacksonville March 3rd, 1864.

Gov. Yates,

Dear Sir,

I find, on inquiry, that the annual rent on your lot amounts to about ten dollars ($10), giving you the advantage of the highest cash rent paid on any land in the neighborhood. You will find this amount enclosed.

I will have the fences repaired, and hold the premises subject to your decision with regard to improving them; and shall be glad to rent the lot for the ensuing year, if you should adopt no plans to interfere with such an arrangement.

Very Respectfully

Yours

Samuel Adams.
