A letter of mine, and printed materials related to forestry practices. I wrote for this stuff when I learned that the Gehrings were going to cut trees near my property.

This must have been in the box under the shelves in SE corner of cabin.

Dear Sirs:

A logging operation is planned for the land adjoining my property and I am concerned that it should be conducted in such a way that the quality of the water in the stream flowing across my property will not be damaged. This logging is to be done on private land. I understand that there is a set of guidelines called “Best Forest Practices” or “Best Management Practices” or something like that outlining proper methods for logging operations to ensure that there will be no problems with erosion, contamination of streams with fuel or antifreeze, and so forth. I would appreciate it if you could send me a copy of these guidelines, or two copies if possible. If there is a charge for this material, please let me know and I will send the money. Thank you.

Sincerely yours,
<br>[SIGNED]
T. J. Kaczynski
