S.H. Gookin Esq. 10 Devonshire St, Boston.

Dear Sir:

The probable value of Lot 1559 Verbena Path is, from $450⁰⁰ to $525⁰⁰ perhaps the last named price is the more correct.

Very Respectfully James W Lovering Supt. per Childs.

Mrs. Sarah A. Tileston 20 Pemberton Sq Boston

Dear Madam

In answer to the note at foot of your order, in reference to painting the fences of Lots 31 and 2317 I will say that the probable cost will be $10⁰⁰ for each Lot.

The present is as favorable a time as any as there is no dust to mar the appearance of the paint before drying.

Very Respectfully J.W. Lovering Supt. per Childs

Should you wish the painting done please return enclosed order
