Dear Sir:-
The original Land Warrant of which the enclosed is a copy has written across the face in red ink. "Duplicate Warrant" and came to me by my father's estate. The assignment from Widow Hailey to my father (whose death occurred in 1894) cannot be found, although I have understood that both the Warrant and assignment are on Record in the Land Office at Washington. D.C. Since I made effort about 3 years ago to know the value of this Warrant, and to make disposal of it, I have been told

that an act has been passed whereby no government lands can be located excepting in the State of Missouri. I would like to dispose of this warrant at a fair value. Will you kindly give me the necessary information in order to do it?
Yours Very Respectfully,
