Capt D.L. Winsor

Dear Sir,

I have rec^d a note from W^m W. Tucker in which he wishes to know for what sum the Corporation will assume the perpetual care of the Lawrence enclosure which embraces:

Lot 489 --	625 ft	Bort up	2500
" 490 --	625	Lot 903	600 f.
" 491 --	625	" 1309	300
" 492 --	625		3700 f
	2500 sf

Will you please go over the matter carefully & make up a report for Saturday, if you can. There is but one considerable monument, i.e. of excesive cost. --

The Com. on Lots are getting cautious. They have signed the contract to take lot 1014 of Henry Gurney for $400, but Mr Norcross adds in final,-"Does Capt. W. understand that we take it at 400 as it is Brimstone posts & all - Please have Capt W's answer in the affirmative before settlement."

Then on Sophia Coggswell Lot 1142 - They have signed the contract for 300 -- but O.N. add a note -- "The price 300, seems very low, please call attention of Capt. W. to this before you deliver the papers or notify the parties."

I send note from Mr Austin on Cath. Peabody's lot, also note from D.J. Coburn.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge
