To The Mayor and
City Manager of Paris
P.O. Box 9037
Paris, Texas 75460
Dear Sirs,
My name is LeAnne Kear and I would like to make an acquisition 'proposal of the house at 7th
and Graham. I believe the actual address is 314 Graham St. My understanding is that it is the
old Baldwin House.
I
/
My husband and I have taken an interest in this house and after having t~hance to look
through it and make some calls on repairs to be done, we would like to make an offer to the City
of Paris of$l1,OOO.OO to purchase the house and the property on which it sits.
In research, I have found that it is already noted as a Historical Stand Alone landmark. My
husband and I would like to bring it back to the historical integrity that this old house deserves.
We have five children and would be living in this house as we make the updates and repairs
necessary to make this our family home.
Allowing us to purchase this home would help to make two of our dreams come tme. One, we
would be able to move back to my home town and be near my family, and two, it would give us
a chance to restore an old home and help to beautify our home town.
I understand that there are several steps necessary for this to take place, and that this is a very
busy time of the year, but if there are any steps that I can help with, I will, since time is of the
essence as we would like to be in the house by the beginning of the year 2006. What a
wonderful Christmas gift this would be for our family.
Your consideration and approval to this proposal is greatly appreciated. I look forward to
hearing from you soon!
Sincerely,
/ J!(J /)
