Dr Sirs

Have you any notes of a line of levels new in 1871 from lot #1587 Spruce Ave to Lawn Fountain?

If not please run the line for me from #1587 Spruce along that avenue to #1721 & thence to the pond on Lawn.

I would like a good profile say not over a tenth out from the starting point to end.

If you can continue the line on the same base used last summer from Chant Lot to Spruce Ave - I should prefer it.

Please have line run & send me profile as soon as you can & at the same time, I can show Mr [B. Landise?] one or two things to be added to sectional plans.

Yrs truly J.W. Lovering
