MY CLIENT RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS
A NICE BIG CHUNK OF THE BLUE HILLS RESERVATION
     
     The letter reproduced at left is from real estate lawyer Jeffrey Mullan, a partner at Boston mega-firm Foley Hoag, asking MDC attorney Thomas Gray for a meeting regarding a "proposed land acquisition." (text version)
     The letter indicates that Mullan or Lantana owner Hart had already broached the subject with local rep Walter Timilty (D-Milton/Randolph), and that Timilty had agreed to pursue it.
      Curiously, the draft legislation attached to the letter makes no mention of an exchange of land, but simply authorizes a conveyance. At this time Hart did not yet own the remote inholding.
