Senator Tillman informs Frank W. Reeder that his agent, William E. Lee, is traveling to meet with him regarding government land grants in Oregon. Tillman wants to acquire quarter acre parcels of the government land for himself, his private secretary, and seven family members who “are of age” in one contiguous tract, if possible. Tillman has instructed Lee to pay $21 for each application to Reeder & Watkins, and when the contracts are signed, one hundred dollars will be paid to the Southern Oregon Company for conveyance.
