The letter is self-explanatory. It is passing strange to me that Mrs. Charlton should never have received any notice, ac- tual or constructive, of this alleged improvement and assessment, nor from an examination. of the pa- pers turned over by her, -have I been able to find anything that would indicate the existence of sue an improvement. It scarcely seems reasonable that a resident and inhabitant as she was at this time, of that locality, should not have received some notice in some form or other of this alleged improvement. Your co-operation in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Yours very truly, • Barrick & Hall, By: A. A. Hall.
