October 15 Thursday – Henry C. Griffin replied to Sam’s Oct. 13 about a refund of overpayment of taxes on the Tarrytown property.
Yours of the 13th instant received. [Not extant.]
The school tax will soon be ready for collection and I will send the school tax bill to Hoyt & Co., as you directed.
I have an application for return of the overpayment last Spring on the Town tax..
The Board of Supervisors will act on this application in November. Will claim $75.81. I suppose when I get the draft for this made payable to you, that Hoyt & Co. will be authorized to endorse it, so as to get the money out of which I can be paid for my services in getting it; the balance of the money to your credit [MTP]. Note: Clemens sent this note to Katharine Harrison ca. Oct. 17.
