Dear Mrs. Thayer:-

The two bills from Chicago Title & Trust Co. are for their guaranty of the title to lots recently sold. There will be, I expect, one more bill. The requirement in regard to the sale of Illinois real estate is that the seller must furnish to the buyer an abstract of title or a Torrens certificate of title or a guaranty policy. On a few of the lots you sold you had a Torrens certificate, but for most of them you did not, and no abstracts of title of recent date. To have brought down the abstracts to date, it was ascertained, would have cost more than a guaranty, therefore the lots were sold with a guaranty purchased from the Chicago Title & Trust Co. I appreciate the fact that the cost of transferring this property has been very large, but it has been an expense which you would have had to face whenever they were sold. In the first place our title was so complicated, due to events over which we had no control, that it required a great deal of unusual legal work on the part of Mills & Howe, the lawyers to whom Aldis & Co. referred the matter, and in addition to that were the two tax deeds, the existence of which was entirely unknown to any of us until the title was examined. Allowing for the one bill not yet received, the total cost, on a sale of $43,400, has amounted to about $2,860.00, or about six and one half percent. This is about double what it ought to have been, and the excess is accounted for by the $850.00 for the tax deeds and the $800.00 paid to the lawyers. Both these charges were unavoidable and necessary, and in spite of them I feel very strongly that you have made an advantageous sale of the property, have turned what was practically a liability into an asset, and will, over a term of years,
