<br />"May 9th, 1933.
<br />
<br /> Gentlemen:
<br /> This letter is written on behalf of ~rs. Lillian M. Hawkins of this Oity. On De-
<br />ce~oer 16, %~ the heirs of the late Sarah E. Hoffler executed and delivered a deed to Mrs.
<br />Lillian M. Hawkins, widow, conveying a certain piece of oroperty located at 2239 Glasgow St.,
<br />Portsmouth, Virginia. Mrs. Hawkins is now canting for th~ husband of the late Sarah E. Her-
<br />flor, Thomas A. Hoffler, who has been incapacitated for the last ten years and bedridden for
<br />the last four years. The property referred to above is used as a residence where Mrs. Haw-
<br />kins lives with her two children and cares for Mr. Thomas~A. Hof~ler. The taxes on the afore-
<br />said property have not been paid for the~years 1~25, ~926, 1927, 1~28, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1~3~.
<br />The amount of these taxes, interest and penalties is $15~.60.
<br /> Mrs. Hawkins desires to have the deed admitted to record but she is not able to
<br />pay the delinquent taxes. The property in question is located on Glasgow Street near the old
<br />school house %hat is now being demolished, it is in a run down condition and would not in my
<br />opinion bring even the amount of the taxes at a sale. This property was conveyed to Mrs. Haw-
<br />kins as a gift, and it means a place over her head in these trying times. Mme. Hawkins has
<br />made arrangements whereby a loan will be made to her by a friend of a small amount of money
<br />to be used in paying the taxes if some compromise can be effected. In the event that the coun-
<br />cil may see fit to take some action in the matter I desire tO m~ggest as follow~: That the pen-
<br />alties and interest be remitted and that the remaining taxes due be reduced to 50% she can ar-
<br />range to pay same by this loan from the friend mentioned above. If worse should come to worse
<br />and the property sold there is no doubt but that Mr. Hoffler wou~d become a public charge on
<br />the Oity. -
<br /> This matter has come to my attention from the Disabled American Veterans of the
<br />World War and my services in the premises are without compensation of any nature whatsoever.
<br />I will be glad to aopear before the Oouncil at any time to go into the matter further if they
<br />so desire. -
<br />
<br />Approv ed -
<br />
<br />Ca motion adjourned.
<br />Presi~n~~k~
<br />
<br /> Very truly yours,
<br />(Signed) M.G. Robinson,.
