Capt Winsor

Dear Sir,

I wish you would put down the following things to be done sure before you get busy with spring work -- The surveyor has minutes, and will cooperate with you the moment you are ready, which I trust will be within a fortnight as the frost will not trouble you much then.

William L. Bonney -- Lot 3821 -- 405 feet -- Ornamental Gr. 124 [feet]

The surveyor has put the lot upon the plan as the posts ^^are set I presume -- but he did not know anything about a portion of it being ornamental ground to be made and shown in a different deed from the lot proper. I wish him informed where the line falls between burial lot & ornamental, & he will mark same on plan -- with figures, so that I can make the deed.

Lot 3482 -- Joseph A. Brown -- Fountain Av^e --

Addition of 163 feet. Your men set the posts wrong. Let them set them in presence of surveyor. I suppose Mr Brown has called nearly a dozen times for this deed.

Lot 459 -- John Suter's heirs: Holly Path -- 309 feet -- Posts to be set on both sides of fence. French has staked it. I send herewith Mr Suter's order. This land
