Unlike the Samuel Smith marker created and dedicated at the same time which is located on Topsfield town property this one is on private property in a residential area. While the present owner has been gracious in allowing our marker to be located on his land we have no assurance that will still be the case with whoever purchases the lot- which is why I am writing this letter. Would the Foundation be interested in looking into the possibility of purchasing the lot or would you provide our organization with some guidance on how we might jointly ensure the preservation of this historic site and its marker? Thank you for whatever guidance you might provide. Norman J. Isler, President, Topsfield Historical Society
