Capt D.L. Winsor

Dear Sir,

I omitted yesterday to state that at Mr J.C. Merrill's request for a number with four figures to be given him, for the lot of Mr Ward his brother in law, I gave him 3376. This number was on a little lot which was sold to Hannah A. Morse, in rear of 888 Poplar Av., and transferred back to the Corpⁿ before she died. So, if you have put a stake there to indicate ^^{a lot for sale by that no.} please have it changed to the east half of J.C. Merrill's on Snowdrop Path.

That lot will be then - S.E. half Hen. V. Ward 3376 - N.W. J.C.M. 3487.

Geo. W. Livermore Esq. of Camb. called in again today, & as he is anxious to settle his bill with the Corpⁿ wishes you would correct the report of lots 3509, 3510, -- M.H. Livermore & P.F. Folsom, on Clematis Path, so that they will stand 300 feet each (if that is what they contain, as appears from the book of Shedd's plan) instead of 326 ft. as before: and instruct the Treas^r to give them a credit of $65 on the bill. I promised him you would bring it in on Saturday.

Mr W^m C. Murdock wishes you to bring in the bill on the Vose lot next Saturday, and would like to meet you here at 12 o'clock. If you can fix the report to include the cap on the monument, he will pay in the fund so as to be included in this year's rep^t. He p^d $450 on the Ward lot today.

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge

Dear Sir,

1 Unless you happen to have the means of telling me at hand, will you be so kind as to let Fred. see if the^^{the line dividing} two tombs built on lot 125, Hemlock Path - Mr Darlings, divides then lot in two halves: if not, tell me how much is in one & how much in the other since you reported addition of 40 feet your diagram shows it thus: -

[Diagram: Measurements of lot]

Darling wishes to convey one tomb, & the question is whether it is half of lot, more or less.

2 If you can get at it, please report on C.P. Curtis' lot - or upon both 389 right.

3 I forget whether you took [man. lot?] Sat. to report addition to Brown & Davis Fountain Av - 3482-3. Mr B has [?] lot on Clematis P.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge

C.P. Curtis Esq

Dear Sir,

The Superintendent has examined the lots of your father & uncle (J.B.C) and I think the President happened to be with him. He^^(Supt.) though it would be useless to make a written report with the lots should be put in order.

He says both want new grading and sodding, and the monument on your lot is somewhat cracked, although it may not give out for twenty or thirty years.

I suppose nothing can be done till spring, when you can examine and determine what course to pursue.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge
