Dear Sir

I send you tracings of M^r Atherton’s
lot # 1725. The figures in black show the distance from
his line to the inside of the adjoining lots, and the
figures in red to the outside, so that if he took all
the land between the Lawrence lot and #1853 he
would get 4⁰⁰/100 feet & 5⁰⁰/100 feet equal to 9⁷⁰/100 from
the back, and 4⁰⁰/100 ft & 5⁰⁰/100 feet equal 9⁰⁰/100 on
the front, which would make an addition of
246 square feet. The price of additions on avenues
has been not less than $1⁵⁰ per foot which is the
price which I wrote to M^r Atherton about a year
ago.

Yrs very truly
J.W. Lovering

Mr Lawrence said he was cutting the shade tree
up to his curbs. I suppose if he wants all on the side
next to #18[?], that the owner of [1853?] ought to be consulted.
