My Dear Senator:-

Wishing to know the status of a
Government Light-house District
which has been once used, but is now
abandoned; I am taking the liberty
of addressing you and ask that you
kindly lease or acquire by purchase
such property.
I do not know as it is the policy of
our Government to let such proprty
revert back to its original condition,
I mean by this; say back to where you
or I might take the same up, hence
my quiry.
The abandoned Light-House Site
to which I refer is at Yaquina Bay,
Oregon.
Thanking you in anticipation of
an answer to this letter, I am

Yours Very Truly.

Dan J. Maher
