33 School St. Boston Nov. 22/60 Mr. T. H. Safford

Dear Sir,

Will you please enclose Mr. Raymond's bill which I left with you as he has called for them. I met Mr. Apple and he insists that he took care of the lot for the years '58, '59 and '60. If that is so, then $2 should be refunded from what the Corporation has received on the '57 bill paid twice.

I wish also you would make out a bill of $15 (I think it was) charged some two or three years since against Mr John [N.?] Brown of Charlestown, for foundation to monument &c.-lot 888- The bill has been lost and I would like another with the date and charge.

Yours truly A. J. Coolidge
