I've been going through some of the paperwork I have collected for my family (Spivey-Ellis & others) within Monroe County and came across something some of you may be interested in. I have some original paperwork from Babcock Lumber & Land Co. from 1919. I have scanned these and anyone interested in a copy of these let me know and I'll email them out to you. Below I have typed out what is on these 3 sheets of paper. Page 1***************** Babcock Lumber & Land Co. Dated 13 March 1919 Tellico River Lumber Company Tellico Plains, Tenn. Gentlemen: IN RE: Leases. Please send us what leases you have for the Tellico River Lumber Company and the Babcock Lumber & Land Company. I want to check these up and get them ready for renewals. Check up your payments of these leases, so as to show just what shape they are in. And, if possible, advise how we would reach these tenants by mail, and greatly oblige. Very Truly yours, Babcock Lumber & Land Company Per C. L. Babcock CLB/LMM Page 2******************** 18 March 1919 Mr. C. L. Babcock, Maryville, Tenn. Dear Sir- Under separate cover we are sending you Tellico River Lumber Company leases as per enclosed list. We have no leases here for Babcock Lumber & Land Company. R. L. Evans of Haw Knob recently authorized us to collect $10.00 for his lease through the pay roll, but we do not find any lease on file for him. Yours very truly, Tellico River Lumber Co.
