City Council,
Delray, Fla.
Gentlemen:
Lots 6 & ? of Seemiller
S/D of Sec. 9-46-43 and
All of lot 4, East of Center
line of Section and west of~
Canal in Section 9-46~43~'.
I have just secured a calculation on the
above property to redeem from City of Delray
Beach taxes which total up to and including
interest to May 1st, 1935 amounts to $2,644.88.
I am willing to offer the sum of $660.00
in cash for the surrender and cancellation of
all taxes of the City of Delray Beach on the
above property.
Should the city prefer bonds for the full
amount I am able to deliver the bonds but I
thought possibly Six Hundred and Sixty Dollars
cash would be more acceptable.
An early reply will be appreciated.
Yours very truly,
