Dear Sir,
In my absence a
day or two time ago you left a written
request that Joseph Fox might work on
lot no 890, standing in the name of
Edward Holbrook who died in 1847.
Some years since I urged upon you
the importance of having the lot repre-
sented by someone, but you decided not
to do anything about it. Again in
I wrote you urging the
importance [to the heir?] as well as the Cor-
poration of having a representative appointed
[but I?] have received no reply.
I have only to [?] that no
one can receive my permit to work on
the lot until the regulations have been
complied with.
Resp.y yours
A. J. Coolidge
Sec.y
Dear Madam,
I send an affidavit
for you to make before a judge ^or clerk of any Court
of Record in your county: it is less expensive
than before a Commissioner. Please fill the
blanks for dates, name &c. If your father
died leaving other children than yourself &
they have since died, you can easily have
the blank altered to meet the case, by inter-
lining, after the words [?] [expired?] & heir -- the
words -- "who is now living". --
I think it is best that the lot should
be transferred directly to you: then we shall
know who is the owner. In , upon your
request, Joseph Arnold was appointed to
represent it; but I have not heard of him
for years, & it had better be changed now. If you
get the affidavit back to me within a week, it will
be in season to print in catalogue. At all events, send
it as soon as you can, and I will get it in if not
too late. I also send bill for the transfer fee.
Respectfully yours
A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y
