D. Wise Esq

Dear Sir

I find by referring to our books that your lot was sodded spring of 1871, and it seems to me as if my predecessor ought have made any slight repairs needed by the sod; still I feel ready to do what is fair & will by & improve the condition somewhat.

I find we have an order to top dress at $4 from you, and the repairs & top dressing will I hope make a good sod.

Yours truly J.W. Lovering

33 School St. Boston Nov. 22/60 Mr. T. H. Safford

Dear Sir,

Will you please enclose Mr. Raymond's bill which I left with you as he has called for them. I met Mr. Apple and he insists that he took care of the lot for the years '58, '59 and '60. If that is so, then $2 should be refunded from what the Corporation has received on the '57 bill paid twice.

I wish also you would make out a bill of $15 (I think it was) charged some two or three years since against Mr John [N.?] Brown of Charlestown, for foundation to monument &c.-lot 888- The bill has been lost and I would like another with the date and charge.

Yours truly A. J. Coolidge
