was purchased two years ago last November. --

Chas. Dana Gibson -- Lot 3629 -- Halcyon Av^e -- Ornamental Ground -- 80 feet. That everlasting triangle --purchased Dec^r 13, 1865 = 3 yrs. 3 mos. 6 ds. since. Do set three posts. There is an exact copy of the sketch you then reported. How near it is to the fact I cannot say. Mr Foss stake it, [diagram: measurements] if you will execute.

W^m Thomas -- 1520 -- Columbine -- Addition of 11 in x 20 = 18 feet reported May 16, 1868. Is this on the east or west side of lot? --

3125 --John P. Turpin's -- Acanthus P. -- Addition -- never paid for, but buried upon -- you reported [diagram: measurements] 33 ft -- He has always contended that he wished only enough to clear the grave properly -- I think abt 21 feet. He refuses to pay for 33 ft -- says he distinctly ordered only enough for the grave of Capt Rogers. If you can re-report it so as to suit him, I should like to end it.

This was reported Sept. 21, 1867 --

Under the rule, I do not think you should wait longer for Martin Bates heirs -- 3599 -- Moss Path -- reported Dec^r 30, 1865 -- and Nathan Tufts Jr. 3734 Rosebay Ave. -- reported Dec^r 22, 1866 -- but post them. --

Respectfully yours
