Capt Winsor

Dear Sir,

Your explanations for
my inquiries about certain lots were rec^d.
I fear there is still some error -- for if you
give 3423 to Agnes R. Phelps, Snowdrop Path,
it leaves only four consecutive numbers for
Mr Read's ^^five lots, viz. 3419-20-21-22.

As there is always great liability to
troublesome errors in reporting and making
changed, and as several have occurred much
to the disfigurement of the record, I beg
leave to say that I prefer, if you have
no objection, to seek explanation of difficult
matters in your department, directly of you,
instead of "asking Fred", as mature heads
are required to bear the responsibility.

Please observe the accompanying order
for Mr Marsh.

Very truly yours

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y

Dear Sir,

I have just rec^d
the reply of the Committee on Lots
in answer to the inquiry for what
sum the Corporation will assume
the Perpetual Care of Lot no. 3324.

The amount they name is
six hundred and fifty dollars ($650) --
which is less than I expected.

If you will call in the after-
noon of almost any day, it will
be a little better time for you, as
we shall be less likely to be inter-
rupted by calls. --

Yours truly

A. J. Coolidge
Secretary
