Edward Brinley Esq

Dear Sir,

Yours of the 1st inst.
was rec^d yesterday. I have no definite
recollection of your lot, although I
spent some time there late in the
Autumn completing our great survey.
It is pleasantly (although rather pub-
licly) located near the junction of
Poplar and Willow Avenues.
The present price of land is 50 cts per
foot, and yours would probably be worth
$250. I don't suppose you could call
the improvements worth much. It might
not tempt one much even at that price,
but if you desire, when the snow is
off, I will look at the lot and give
you more particular answer. - It might
be well, meantime, if you have determined
to sell, to give me an idea of what you will
take for it, in case I should have any in-
quiry for such a lot.

My last catalogue was of June 1860,
which I think you have: if not, I will
send.

Yours very truly

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y
