John Fensom makes offer for house

According to a letter that Campbell House Museum received 14 March 1972, the Duke Street house was for sale in 1881. John Fensom made a low ball offer of $300 for down-payment, which was rejected. A few months later, in 1882, he was offered the property for the same price.
