Copying Book: Secretary's Letters, 1860 (page 105)

Boston, Dec^r 17, 1863

Capt. D. L. Winsor Sup^t Mt. A. C.

Dear Sir,

Mr Curtis -
Mr Shedd's surveyor -- gives me
as the contents of Mrs Mary
Hemenway's lot - inside mea-
sure of the curb, & taking into
account the curvature - 790 Square
feet. He says the posts are some
18 or 20 inches, which is rather
a large allowance - but it is per-
haps you did not intend to include
any portion of them in the survey.-

Mrs. H. bought lot of Lewis F. Merrill,
which with her own made 600 feet.-

Will you therefore please report
190 feet in addition to her lot 1463.

We shall probably receive the transfers,
& convey where all in one deed.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Boston, Dec^r 18, 1863

Dear Sir,

Not knowing from whom
the deed to Mrs Hemenway came
to Mr Bond, but knowing that
all the negotiations with her were
through you, I take the liberty to
return the deed to her through you,
it and a copy of the place having
been duly recorded by me.

Very respy. yours

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y

Dr J. Bigelow
