W^m C. Lears Esq

Dear Sir,

I thought I should long since have sent you a copy of the deed of reconveyances in trust which I prepared for you to reconvey the Spring Lot - but have been unable to do so until now that I have an assistant.

I think its terms will prove satisfactory to you.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Secretary

Please refund Cont. for Pertpet^l Rep. to 2121 finally passed upon and recorded.

By one of the strange anomalies the Corporation charges you for receiving money of you, that is to say - the charge for drawing, getting execution of and recording the contract is $5. which you can remit at your convenience.

Truly yours,
