The Dollhouse: Offer Letter

Tuesday 23 June 1998

Dear Ms. C-----,

Thank you so much for being the trustee of 53 States Street, in San Francisco. We wish to express to you and the property owner the pleasure we felt in discovering that pretty cottage, and how excited we are in making an offer to buy it.

My wife, Rose, and I were married last year, and we're expecting our first in December. We started looking for a home in which to start our new family, but our enthusiasm was quickly dimmed as we encountered one uninteresting boxy house after another. We wanted something that reflected the heritage of San Francisco, something with a garden, something that gave the feeling of being a home rather than merely a house.

When we saw the hardwood floors of your cottage, the tiny eating nook, and the front and rear gardens we knew our search was over. A small family could be raised here. Since we've visited your cottage we've been thinking about how to arrange our lives within it. We're tickled to see ourselves living in a cottage from the beginnings of this century, and to be consulting with professionals on how to preserve it into the next century. It'll be our first home, and a major investment for our family.

We hope to be able to come to terms with you, to take over the care of your cottage, and perhaps to meet with you and hear some of the family stories that have happened within its walls.

With fondest wishes,

Rose Shoshanna and Michael Samuel Sattler
