Capt. D.L. Winsor

Dear Sir,

I send a note from
Dr Lawrence. --

Will you tomorrow send a
certificate of the lot on Harebell Path
by mail, to "Edward F. Hall Jr.
21 Kelley St. Boston."

He is about to leave the city, & wishes to pay for it.

Will you also examine, and advise
me how much to offer for lot no. 2485,
Spruce Av^e, David B. Gray -- how much
for lot, and how much for fence, in separ--
ate items. I am about to write him.
He resides at the west. -- Write tomor-
row, if you can. --

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge

Send me a leaf of that certificate book.

Dear Sir

Miss Harriet G.
Hosmer, the great sculptress is here
and, at her request, I wish to make
an appointment with you to meet
her and her friends tomorrow morning
about 10 o'clock, to look for a lot
in some prominent place, where she
can erect a bronze statue to her late
father, Dr Hosmer,preparatory ^^{in connection with} which
she will probably dispose of her old
lot no. 367 at the north end of Nar-
cissus Path (Forrest Pond) as that
place is unsuited for such a purpose. --

I told her we could take her
old lot, privately, and give her as
much, as she would otherwise get.
