Jos. B. Glover Esq.

Dear Sir,

Since meeting you three
days since, I have handed the
survey of the late Mr. Ward's lot in
Mt Auburn, & the report of the Com.
on Lots thereon to Mr. Andrews,
and requested him to see the other
members of the Committee with a
view to a revision of their former
decision.- The papers have been
returned to us with the Committee's
decision endorsed-to the effect
that the Corporation will assume
the perpetual care of said lot for
$500- the fence to be painted as
often as once in three years if
required."

Truly yours,

A. J. Coolidge
Sec.y

33 School St Boston July 14/62

Dear Madam,

I enclose the accom-
panying circular, which has been
sent to some too hundred of our pro-
prietors (out of say 3200) whose lots have
never been permanently marked with
bounds; and responses have ben quite
generally given directing granite posts to
be set.

Besides your own proper lot enclosed
with iron fence you have five lots
exclusive of the one purchased for Mr
Peabody, which, as laid out on our
plan with passageway intervening
would require about 20 posts.

No bounds have even been affixed
until we drove temporary wooden
stakes last autumn.-

I will wait upon you, if you
desire further explanation, as I could
show you upon a rough outline,
in five minutes, the position of
things.

Very Resp.y yours,
Austin J. Coolidge
