Jany 5^th [18]69

Dear Sir,

I presume you cannot be
more averse to receiving an old bill
than I am to sending one -- but I do not
feel that I am chargeable with neglect in
the present case, as I have repeatedly
endeavored to get the bill settled, I think
even before Mr Arthur L. Devens died.

I enclose bill once more to you,
& trust it will be settled. -- $7.50

I also send the bill of the
Corporation for the care of the lot
in 1866 -- the charge is $5.00 -- The order
was signed by "F.P. Sherburne -- bill to
Mr Devens 31 India Wharf --.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge
Secretary & Treas^r

Thos. W. Devens Esq.

to our claim against the estate
of J.W. Taylor is at hand --

It will be quite "agreeable to me"
to receive the amt of bill $57.50
and interest as soon as pos-
sible, as the account has stood
over two years and the
Trustees wish me to close
all old accounts at the earliest
day.

Amt bill	57.50
say 2 yrs int. --	6.90
	$64.40

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge
