Capt Winsor,

Dear Sir,

Mr Collier has de-
cided to take the deed of his other lot now, &
he can transfer it to the person to whom you
may sell. Will you therefore please report
a number for it on Saturday.

Will you be kind enough to send and
measure the diameter or chord of the front end
of Hobbs' lot on Mound Ave^e. You said it was
twice the radius -- that makes but 4f 6 which
makes a lot of this shape.

[diagram: measurements]

Now if the side come out nearly
straight and make the front less tapering, the chord
of that segment must be more than 4f 6 -- and if
it tapers off as above, it is not an easy thing to measure
the lot. I cannot make the deed well without know-
ing the length of both this chord, and the distance from
it round the front.

Respy yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Geo. Livermore Esq, Ex^or &c

Dear Sir,

By vote of the
Trustees passed Jany. 30^th, 1865,
I am directed to give notice
to the Ex^ors of the late Thomas
Dowse that lots 1809 & 1810,
held by this Corporation in trust under
a conveyance from Mr Dowse, are
out of repair, and that the
funds provided are insufficient
for the purpose of keeping them in
repair -- and to request the
Ex^ors to give the subject their
early attention. --

Very Resp.y

A.J. Coolidge
Secretary
