Gentlemen-Durng the past year efforts were
made to have what is known as the Cute drain
cleared of obstruction, so the land through which

large area of land that could otherwise be used.
My object In calling attention to this matter is
10 request that you cause the removal of said OBJ
struction and allow the drainage contemplated
by the construction of said drain. The present
condition should be remedied at your very first
