Explains that because he is on the Valuation Committee (which he describes as "an unpleasant situation"), he must obtain information about all "the taxable property in the Commonwealth [of Massachusetts]." Discusses the problems obtaining the relevant information for Boston, where they design "to keep their proportion of the State Tax as low as possible." Asks Hobart to find Boston's proportion of United States Stock from information available in Washington, D.C. Hobart obtained the information (see GLC06313.117).
