Capt. D.L. Winsor, Sup^t

Sir,

Please endorse upon the enclosed descriptions of lots for perpetual repair the fact that the repairs preliminary to the acceptance by the Corporation of said lots have been made - as fast as each is done.

I have placed the form on the 2^d page in case of Isaiah Atkins' lot 454 - of Otis Fairbanks, lot 659 - and of John Woods, lot 2144 -

Will you please review your estimate in the case of John Woods of $400. - It seemed to me from the description, the guarantee might be given for $350. As we shall have about $312 left in the fund after your bill for repairs is in (that is if your bill is $45.) I am anxious to induce the proprietor to pay in enough more to make it up to a guaranty: and I don't believe I can do it, if $400 is required. The lot does not seem to me to involve much greater risk than 3040, Mary Sargent; - 77 J.F. Flagg and 40, T. C. Singleton, every one of which the Trustees have agreed to guarantee for $350. -

Will you strike from the description of lots 358 & 359 the ^^final terms at bottom, "when put in order," unless the lots really need repair. You have not stated any to be necessary. My impression is that the lots were recently newly graded. If new grading is required, probably nothing will be done towards paying in the fund until another year. -

Respy yours

A. J. Coolidge
