If you will suffer the suggestion, I think the 2d clause of Art. 29 of the bylaws - p. 48 ^to the end of the first sentence, should be amended to read -
"The Trustees may also guarantee the perpetual repair of lots on the payment to the Treasurer of such sum, in each case, as the Committee on Lots shall deem sufficient."
As the least sum that can be received at all is $100, there would seem to be no danger in leaving this clause without the minimum limit of $100, as the Commee on Lots would not be very likely to guarantee perpetual care for a smaller sum than they are at liberty to accept at any rate, viz $100.
I would advise that the first clause should remain as it now stands.
The application upon the lot of Mrs. Skinner no. 1175, made by Col. Wm. R. Lee, I suppose can be acted on at once.
Very resp.y yours
A.J. Coolidge Sec.y Mt Auburn
Dear Sir, I went with the Supt. this morning & measured the two lots named by you on Arethusa Path and found that they were good for two lots with space intervening of 400 feet each.- But a gentleman spoke to him two or three days since, and did not wish Capt Winsor to sell them until he could see him once more. He wished for two lots. I believe the Superintendents agreed not to sell them until he should come out again. I think that whoever agrees to take the whole piece solid will be likely to get it. We measured on the front from inside to inside of curb 54 1/2 feet. The back line would measure a little more.
Yours truly
A.J. Coolidge Sec.y Mt. A.C.

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

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
