Messrs Shedd & Sayer

Gent^m,

Mr. I.H. Silsby of Newton owns 3 lots on Lawn Ave,

No 2940,	338 feet
2941,	322 [feet]
2942,	300
[total]	960 ft

He now wishes to rearrange these lots, so as to give two front lots on Lawn ave of 300 ft each, and the Galanthus 360 ft in the rear lot.

The rear lot has been posted to suit the "shelf" made in filling, about as shown in

39

2 red lines on enclosed tracing, (which please preserve carefully as it is his property) but it will now have to be reposted, something as shown by the blue ^^dotted line, with a new post at X instead of the one at Y. (I do not think it an object to change those at e f g as the ground there is useless to any one.)

Will you please make a rearrangement of the land he now owns on paper

40

(3)

so as to give him the 3 lots he wants for his new deeds; and stake for resetting post at X -

The bill to Mt Auburn, to be charged by them to Mr Silsby, (as when no new land is taken, prop^r pays for survey.)

Yours very truly C.W. Folsom, Supt.

Respectfully C.W. Folsom Supt Per E.T.K.
