Dear Mr. Carlson: _
Te are representing Mr. Edward R. Pence, executor of the above

Illinois, are the only heirs at law of Fay wlontavon. You will no
doubt remember that Ambrose Montavon, also deceased, and his wife,
the.above deceased, were for many years prominent residents of
Deerfield, Illinois. You may also remember that Mr. and Mrs. Idontavon wers
were the owners of approximately tilio and a half acres of real
estate right on. the east side of 1aukegan Road just south of the
property at the north end of the village, being held for school and
public purposes.
The heirs, being fully cognizant of Pair• and Mrs. P,iontavon's affection
for the Village of Deerfield and the community in general, have most
generously offered to bestow this piece of reak estate upon the
Village, to be used by the Village for public purposes. The heirs
would, of course, wish to have a small placque prepared and placed
on the property indicating that the same has been donated in honor
and memory of Ambrose and Fay Montavon. We< should be very glad to
discuss this matter with you in further detail- if you need additional
information in presenting it to your Board of Trustees.
x _ Very truly yours,
V _ _. _, • __ SEATO, BRADLEY do VETTER `
