Mr. Patrick J. Gaffigan6 Cedar AvenueGaithersburg, Maryland

Dear / r. Gaffigan:

In reply to your letter of October 24, 1964, the VillageBoard has agreed to pay the expenses of a plane trip by you toBarrington in connection with your location of a place to live.You may submit this item as a part of your moving expenses.

As to the letter from the Village to the mover, pleasedetermine the moving company that you desire to use and obtain fromthem their basis for billing. Send this information to us and theVillage Clerk will issue a letter addressed to the company, whichwill be sent to you for delivery to the mover selected. In this way,the mover's bill can be sent directly to the Village and paid as apart of your moving expenses.

I hope that you will have good luck in getting severalreplies from the real estate people in Barrington As I have men-tioned before, Yr. Voss is the one you should stay in contact within connection with your housing. Also, I might suggest that Mr.Blanke, the Village President, could be helpful in this area. Ithink that you would find that he could be of some help in assist-ing you to locate a place to live if you wrote him directly orcontacted him on your visit, and, as a matter of fact, this atten-tion might be good.

Please advise if you have any further problems.

Sincerely,

J. Frank WyattJFW:LAC

Mr. Patrick J. Gaffigan6 Cedar StreetGaithersburg, Maryland

Dear hr. Gaffigan:

This will acknowledge receipt of your letter, dated October 16,1964, requesting certain additional information. As to item 1, Blue Cross-Blue Shield in Chicago was contacted and the following is their reply:

"There is no possible way for Blue Cross to tell at this timeif they even receivedYr. Gaffigan l s letter. They have no follow-up in operation. However, it is possible that all inquiries willbe saved and answered at the time the drive for membership opens(Spring of 1965). The lady to contact in Chicago is Miss LynnGlass. The foregoing is all the information that is presentlyavailable. There is no literature available to send out untilthey open their drive for membership."

As to Item 2, please direct any inquiries to Mr. Carl Anderson,1st National Bank and Trust Co., Cook Street and Park Avenue, Barrington,Illinois.

As to item 3, we do not have a hospital located in Barrington.The hospitals generally used by residents of Barrington are the ShermanHospital and St. Joseph Hospital in Elgin, Illinois, and the NorthwestCommunity Hospital in Arlington Heights. As to OB men, it is suggestedthat you contact Dr. Shirley J. Peterson, (Pediatrician), 303 Grove Avenue,Barrington, Illinois, for information as to doctors.

As to item 4, you should stay in contact with Er. Voss. However,I am doubtful that you will be able to find an apartment with comparablefacilities to the Crestview Apartments with a much lower price. It mightbe that you should consider taking this apartment for some six months whichwould give you plenty of time to locate other facilities in Barrington ifyou find that the Crestview Apartments were not entirely satisfactory. Iam sure that you will find the rentals in Barrington in excess of the priceyou are now paying. In order to assist you in this matter, I have requestedthat the Barrington Courier-Review be mailed to you.

Sincerely,
