Dear Sir,

Please let Fred [?] over the order books since Jany. of this year, and see where the proprietors have ordered the fences to be painted, and give me a list of them. There cannot be many. I wish to correct the list of dilapidated lots, on which I am just sending the proprietors notice. As it cannot take him half an hour to do this, I should like to have him do it tomorrow. -

I have a list of those orders to be done by outsiders. Let him send me those, ordered of the Corporation and my list will be complete.

Truly Yours

A.J. Coolidge

Please inform me what Mr Safford handed me. Daniel D Fuller's certificate fee? Is it for anything, besides to make his deed? - dated Oct 26, 186[?]
