Dr Sirs

Have you any notes of a
line of levels new in 1871 from lot
#1587 Spruce Ave to Lawn Fountain?

If not please run the line for
me from #1587 Spruce along that
avenue to #1721 & thence to the
pond on Lawn.

I would like a good profile
say not over a tenth out from
the starting point to end.

If you can continue the line
on the same base used last sum-
mer from Chant Lot to Spruce Ave -
I should prefer it.

Please have line run & send me
profile as soon as you can & at
the same time, I can show Mr [B. Landise?]
one or two things to be added to
sectional plans.

Yrs truly
J.W. Lovering

Dear Sirs

Your bill
received. Please deliver us no
more posts till say the middle
of February as we have enough

you have finished that amount
please deliver no more, unless
I write you to the contrary.

Yours truly
