The Treasurer of Geauga County,
Chardon, Ohio.1
Dear Sir:
Will you kindly advise me of the amount of taxes due or about to become due upon the land of the Chester Cliffs Company in Chester Township,2 and oblige?3
Yours very truly, President of the Chester Cliffs Company. CWC/FL1. Chardon, Ohio, is the county seat of Geauga County, which in 1920 had about 15,000 inhabitants. [back]
2. The Chester Cliffs Club or Company was a small stockholding corporation founded in September 1903 by Chesnutt and ten friends to purchase 11 acres of land near Chesterland, Ohio, 20 miles from Cleveland in northwestern Geauga County, where they spent summers away from the city. Three cottages were built, and in 1916 the Chesnutts purchased one of these. In 1921 Chesnutt, as the club president, took on the responsibility of reminding members of tax payments and calling the annual meeting. The corporation was never legally dissolved. [back]
3. No response from the Treasurer of Geauga County has survived. On this same day, Chesnutt also wrote to G. R. Hanna at the Geauga County Surveyor's office about the Chester Cliffs Company property lines. [back]
