Dear Sir,
Mr Wm M. Lathrop called in this P.M. and says he thinks he gave you an order for both posting & grading lots 3363 & 3364, Acanthus P. rear of 1833 & 1856. He talked over the size of the posts, & thinks he signed his name to the order book. -- If he is in error, please inform me, and I will have him give the proper order. -- He would like to have the grading done this season, if not too late: at all events, set the posts.
As it will probably be a day or two before the surveyors get out to you, I think it will be well for you to set as many of the posts to the lots of delinquent proprietors as possible: -- and their survey would then be the more complete. I subjoin a list of ^all the earlier lots contained on the list shown you, remaining without bounds. --

Will you also, in compliance with the request of the Comee on Lots furnish me before next Monday, a list of all lots of which the bounds have been neg-- lected. The above will aid you somewhat, but I am not sure that it embraces all since 3000.
Yours truly

Gentlemen,
Please send me tomorrow the inside measures to lots 3498 (Cutter) 3517 (Fray) 3518 & 3519 (Thompsons) on Laurel Ave. I send the plans, on which I wish ^you to mark the length of inside lines, & the middle ordinates, from which I can make deeds.
Send me also the same for lot 1463, on Thistle Path (Mrs Hemenway's) which contains 790 sq. ft.-
It is laid down on plan, but the exterior measures are given, so as to be no guide for me in describing.-
I shall have to ask you to send to Mt Auburn & survey some of the irregular lots:- [?]} [?]} each other}
Among these I wish

Dear Sir,
I wrote you that Mr Livermore is very anxious to settle his bill with the Treasr for lots 3509 & 3510; and can do so the moment you write the Treasr that $65 is to be credited for 52 feet land, as that is the amount which appears by the plan to be overpaid for, @ 1.25 per foot.
I also wrote to Mr Reed, that you should report to him your opinion on the steps to Anemone Path.
We have an adjourned meeting of the Trustees next Monday, no business having been done yesterday. The Trustees can then decide on it.
Please have Mr Safford ascertain & report to me what is the correct position of the members of lot 3514 & 3515 if he can do so on the ground.

The above is the way I understand their relative position. Chas. D. Elliott is propr of 3514 & Philander Ames of 3515 -- Mr Elliott told me his was the narrow end. But Shedd's survey has reversed this, making 3515 at the narrow end. This I suppose the surveyor got from the stakes. If Mr Elliott was right, the stakes and plan are wrong. If there are interments, they will show. --
There are two lots on Lantana Path -- 2532 & 2841, each of which you reported as 15/20 lots = 300 feet -- By the surveyor's plan, (although the contents are probably the same -- 300 ft) each lot is [diagram: lot diagram with deminsions] so far from a rectangular lot

Dear Sir,
Please bring in a report upon the lot of Edwin Booth 3281, -- 300 feet -- Anemone Path, for perpetual repair.
Mr Booth is fond of flowers, and would like to have included in the estimate a "moderate display" of flowers. I think he has paid about $10 for care of lot. You always set some in the border. I do not know that he desires much beyond what you do -- but wishes to stipulate for the setting of them.
By our usual contracts, we are not obliged to set flowers.
Yours truly
A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
