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.
