Hiram Hill wrote to E. D. Ladd and S. B. Prentiss in Kansas Territory, requesting that they send a new drawing of the West Lawrence town shares when they are available, and asking about the prospect of selling town lots there. Hill also inquired about a share of Emporia stock that he had given to Mr. Whitney to pass on to them. He answered their questions regarding maintenance of his rental properties, and confirmed that only "necessary repairs" were to be completed at his expense.
