April 27th, 1899.

Mr. John Guartha,
Sheffield, Mass.

Dear Sir:-

Mr. Bishop has written me a letter stating that he has informed you of having sold his farm to me. 

I am leaving for Europe next week to be gone all summer. During my absence I have asked Mr. Bishop to use the farm the same as if no sale had occurred, so be good enough to take his orders as formerly and continue whatever arrangements you have with him for working the place, regardless of me, with one exception, namely, I would like to have it clearly understood that no more trees are to be cut down. The cutting of trees done recently was, I know, with Mr. Bishop's consent, and of course is all right, but I would like every tree now standing retained until I can have a chance to make a careful inspection of the property and determine a policy for the future.

Yours truly,
Charles L. Freer
