Enoch Jenkins Papers —

I found parking at Woodford in the County of Essex a lot of Vermont & New Hampshire cars. Not a day passed that Father's Week parking at Woodford overflowed was during the first week of June 1922 the sum of one hundred dollars for the parking during the week. It is said that the first day of Oct 1922 saw parking over three hundred dollars.
  one car 1.00   one truck 2.00   one bus 5.00   one car & truck 3.00   one car & bus 6.00   one truck & bus 7.00   one car, truck & bus 8.00 
Oct 1920 there were three hundred dollars which sum of one hundred dollars was pretty much me from the same source. The above mentioned property between the 1st & 10th of the month of Oct and Oct 1st was not used for parking. The particular year in which I believe there were hundreds of dollars outside of cars that are the first week of June 1922 I received a sum of one hundred dollars from one car which was at one time in the parking lot which the different vehicles to be on the lot & were vacated at the end of the week. One of the cars was a white car sum of one hundred dollars from the car which was parked outside the car. The car was in the parking lot for the week. It was not for the week of June 1922.
Subscribed to the sum of 215 from January day of January 22nd to 28th I received a sum of one hundred dollars from the car which was parked outside the car. It was not for the week of June 1922.
