My dear Sir,

I have seen Mr Markham today, & he has since spent an hour or more time with me in looking over the plan. He seems very favorably disposed -- wishes to avoid all personal feeling, and will go out at once to see what he can find to suit the case. I think he is very gentlemanly in his disposition, and will do what you desire, if he can see his way clear.

You shall hear from me again as soon as I can report progress.

Very Resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge

Dear Sir,

Lot no. 3609 which is in the rear of 1650 on Spruce Avenue, was reported as sold to you on the 2^d of September last.

The lot contains 102 square feet at 75 cts per foot, which makes $76.50 for the land, to which is added $2 for the deed, making $78.50. & which is always payable within five days from the bargaining for the lot. --

I dont know what arrangements you made with the Superintendent about grading, but that always constitutes a separate bill.

All bills payable to Geo. W^m Bond, Treas^r 167 Congress St

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge
