Thomas Haven Esq

Dear Sir,

I have long searched for a Thomas Haven, the proprietor of lot no. 503 in the Cemetery, situated upon Willow Avenue, who appears to have been in the Boston Directory fom 1835 to 1839, as a merchant at 30 [Centred?] Wharf and to have disappeared from the Directory after the latter year: and finally from inquiries and correspondence have been led to the belief that you are that man. --

I am preparing a new catalogue of the proprietors, and wish so far as possible to make it accurate and complete.

Will you please inform me whether I am correct?

Respy. yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Please send two men to set four 8 in. post to the Lowell & Putnam lots on Fountain Av. the first job you do -- I beg of you, and stop my prayers on the subject; which have been earnest, and from the heart, for the last three years: So that the surveyor can get them for the plan. He has the minutes of survey.

Please report for perpet. care on Lot 2015 Sewall Phelps' Estate, on Honeysuckle Path.

Also of

Dear Sir: -

Please report upon lot 2887, Larch Av. 60 ft - belonging to Mrs Anna R. Goodwin for perpetual repair -- also state what repairs will cost if any are first needed. --

Mr Thos. Richardson is very anxious about the price of land -- 200 feet more or less on the northerly side of the Alger lot -- at the end of Elm Av -- Somebody has reported to him that it has been sold; but I told him I thought not. He is in the Alger family, & wishes to purchase it --

Will you survey it up to the Alger line, & let him know through me how much it contains --

Truly yours,

A. J. Coolidge
