Dear Sir,

I see not impropriety in
considering that Lot 790 in Mount
Auburn, in accordance with your
wish, passed directly to your son
Wells, Mr. Mr Wells. But as he the sole
heir at law of this late father
which I was not aware of
I sent the blank petition, that
form becomes unneccessary and
instead thereof he is entitled to
file his affidavit that he is
sole heir at law, which as is
noted upon our records and
the name entered in the catalogue.

I have therefore prepared said
affidavit, and if he will call at this office. I need desire
him but in short time . The [?]
fee therefor is $1.-

Very respy yours
A.J. Coolidge

Miss E.M Gridley

Dear Madam,

I have drawn
up a document as nearly in accord-
ance with our conversation and
your supposed wishes as I have
been able to make it.

I was not quite sure of the
Christian name of your sister, and
you will see that I have inserted
it in pencil.

If it is satisfactory, I will wait
upon you at your house, or you
can come down, as you prefer.-
If you desire any further alterations
I shall be happy to listen to what
you may wish.

If you should come down pre-
pared to finish, you will need your
policy, and the deed of the lot.

Very respl.y yours
A.J. Coolidge
