                    <p>Will you be good enough to send me the tax bill for the Chester Cliffs Company<ref target="n.his00595"/> on property near Scotland, and state on the bill what year or half year the taxes are for?<ref target="n.dat00665"/></p>
    
                    <p>Some of the property was transferred last June, but the tax bill which you send will undoubtedly be for the period before that date. If I am mistaken about this, and there are any taxes assessed against Helen M. Chesnutt<ref target="n.per00035"/> or Mary <choice><sic>E.</sic><corr>A.</corr></choice> Donahey,<ref target="n.per00601"/> please send those.</p>
    
                    <p>I enclose a stamped envelope for receipt.</p>
    
                    <closer>
                        <salute>Yours very truly,</salute>
