Col S P Colt Seeks Quiet Settlement Over Asylum Farm Sale
Col S P Colt writes to Bristol Town Council proposing a buyer friendly compromise over the Asylum Farm land. He offers to sell his farm area back to the town at ten thousand dollars if a majority of voters seek reconveyance within three months. The missive stresses his good faith and asserts the land's value and public benefit already given.
