W.F. York Esq

Dear Sir,

Your reply of Dec^r 24^th to my request to pay bill of $12.55 in connection with lot of Mrs L.G. Towne I have referred to the Sup^t, & he states that the work was done by your order, & it is the invariable custom for the party who sets a monument or stones to pay for cleaning up & new sodding required by the activity. I have just rend^d a bill to Mr M^cDonald amounting to more than $100 for such work & he says it is all right.

The new sodding &c on Mrs Towne's lot was required by your setting the monument. I don't see with what propriety we could ask her to pay for bill of this work. The contract for monument & setting properly include all here charged you. Please send amount with bill.

Resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge Treas^r

Dear Sir,

I enclose the deed of lot 3556 for you to execute the transfer to the Hadley heirs at the request of Mrs Howe the one who takes the most interest & pays the bills. As you have repeatedly told me that you have nothing to do with the lot & the estate is now settled, you will no doubt be glad to get it off your hands.

You can sign, & acknowledge before some neighbor of yours who is a Justice of the Peace, & return the deed to me at 16 Pemberton Square, Boston.

Yours Respy

A.J. Coolidge
