W^m S. Dexter Esq.

Dr Sir

I understand from the
late Sup^t Col. Folsom that you looked
at some ground near the lot of
H.A. Whitney Esq - with the view of buying
a lot there.

The lot has been restaked so as to
make a good lot of about 284 feet
which I thought I would offer to you
before any one else, as you had looked
at it once.

I should be glad to have your decision
before long, as I am having frequent
applications for lots, but I shall not dis-
pose of this before June 7^th and hope to
hear from you by that time

Respectfully James W. Lovering
Supt.

Hon Sidney Bartlett.

Dear Sir

I have the honor
to acknowledge your favor of the 28^th inst.
I have had a statement made up,
showing the details of the work done for
you, adding also the amount of stone
used in the foundation, which my clerk
rendered in a separate bill, so that this
account now comprises everything except
the setting of the corner posts, which I think
are not now ready.

I happened to meet Col. Folsom and
made some inquiries from him as to his
agreement with you, and think you will
find I have come within his estimate.

Respectfully Yrs.
James W. Lovering Sup^t
