Elsternwich, 26th Sept 1905 E.J.Brennan Esq Beechworth Dear Sir I have just noticed in the O.V.U (?) that my sons selection of 13 acres has been forfeited. Kindly let me know why it was forfeited. I paid the rents when at Beechworth - or intended to. If the land is lost does he get paid for the fences - they are very good. I go to Beechworth on Oct 10th. Yours truly, H.A. Crawford for Walter C. Crawford
