Mrs. Henderson,
1269 Lakeview Road,1
Cleveland, Ohio.
Dear Madam:
I beg to acknowledge check for $10.00 endorsed by you and deposited in the bank by me September 22nd, which together with $30.00 heretofore paid makes $40.00, payment in full for rent of suite at 1269 Lakeview Road, for which please accept my thanks.2
Yours very truly,Correspondent: Clara M. (Lloyd) Henderson (1874–1966) was a White woman from the Canton, Ohio, area, widowed by 1904, who along with her daughter Marie Henderson (1895–1985) rented the apartment at 1269 Lakeview Rd. from Chesnutt from 1921 until at least 1931; her son Frederick F. Henderson (1893–1966) also seems to have lived with them, but is not mentioned in the correspondence.
1. By 1921, Chesnutt owned a building at 1267–1269 Lakeview Road in Cleveland, Ohio, and rented out two separate units, 1267 and 1269, to different lodgers. From 1921 to at least 1931, the Hendersons lived at 1269. By 1930, Robert A. Dill lived at 1267. The structure no longer exists. [back]
2. The surviving correspondence with Clara and Marie Henderson from 1921 to 1930 exclusively concerns the collection of their rent for 1269 Lakeview Road. [back]
