Dear Sir

I send you tracings of M^r Atherton’s lot # 1725. The figures in black show the distance from his line to the inside of the adjoining lots, and the figures in red to the outside, so that if he took all the land between the Lawrence lot and #1853 he would get 4⁰⁰/100 feet & 5⁰⁰/100 feet equal to 9⁷⁰/100 from the back, and 4⁰⁰/100 ft & 5⁰⁰/100 feet equal 9⁰⁰/100 on the front, which would make an addition of 246 square feet. The price of additions on avenues has been not less than $1⁵⁰ per foot which is the price which I wrote to M^r Atherton about a year ago.

Yrs very truly J.W. Lovering

Mr Lawrence said he was cutting the shade tree up to his curbs. I suppose if he wants all on the side next to #18[?], that the owner of [1853?] ought to be consulted.

Dear Sir

I have examined lot #186 - Train prop. and make the following estimate. To remove fence and posts - fill and sod over old post holes, cut four corner posts - cut number of lot - and keep lot in good order for one year will cost $7.25 and the old material.

The lot ought to be graded and sodded that would cost $28.00 additional.
