Dear Mr. Manly:
In case our Board - N.Y. Branch - decide that our Property in Richmond must be disposed of, what course would you advise? Would not the City take it for school purposes at some low price, we making the deduction in order to secure its continuance in that use? Please let me have your opinion & advice -

Please also to let me know how the title stands exactly, & oblige

Yrs Truly
