Mt. Auburn Nov. 18. 1873.

S.T. Snow Esq Ch. Comm on Lots.

Dear Sir

I have recently found in several cases that when two proprietors had curbed their lots either in one enclosure or at any rate connected & without passageway, the numbers have been exchanged, so that the lot on ground does not agree with either catalogue or map in number.

It seems very important to avoid mistakes that all lots should be numbered, but it is worse to have a wrong number than to be entirely without.

The lots 2178 & 2179 also 3428 & 3429 are instances of this sort, both are curbed, & I should be glad to be instructed in there & similar cases either to have the parties change their deeds or their numbers.

Respectfully J.W. Lovering

S.T. Snow Esq Chairman Comm. on Lots.

Dear Sir

I find the following lots wrongly numbered.

Lot 2366	Buy. Beal	numbered on Iron gate	#2368
" 218	Mandell	[numbered on] curb	#1668
" 2178	Bennet	[numbered on curb]	2179
2179	[Bennet]	[numbered on curb]	2178
*3428	Thayer	[numbered on curb]	3429
3429	Hovey	[numbered on curb]	3428
6687	Cole Rice	[numbered on] base of monument	667.

*Mr Thayer's deed is #3428; the lot he has used & which is marked with his name is #3429 on ground, and sectional plans.

The numbers on these curb lots are "raised in panel"; the raised figures can be cut down, and the same figures sunk in the panel.

Very respectfuly J.W. Lovering
