My dear Sir,

I have seen
Mr Markham today, & he
has since spent an hour or more
time with me in looking over the
plan. He seems very favorably
disposed -- wishes to avoid all
personal feeling, and will go
out at once to see what he can
find to suit the case. I think
he is very gentlemanly in his dis-
position, and will do what you
desire, if he can see his way clear.

You shall hear from me again
as soon as I can report progress.

Very Resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge

Dear Sir,

Lot no. 3609
which is in the rear of 1650 on
Spruce Avenue, was reported as
sold to you on the 2^d of September
last.

The lot contains 102 square
feet at 75 cts per foot, which
makes $76.50 for the land, to
which is added $2 for the deed,
making $78.50. & which is always
payable within five days from the bargaining
for the lot. --

I dont know what arrangements
you made with the Superintendent about
grading, but that always constitutes
a separate bill.

All bills payable to Geo. W^m Bond, Treas^r 167 Congress St

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge
