points, I think one is naturally led about in the courses I have marked for Eagle, Swan, Albatross and Falcon Avenues.

Should we ever acquire the balance of the Stone Farm, some branches would of course be needed to the westward form Albatross and Pheasant Aves. I have not indicated there now, not wishing to call too much attention to that point.

In regard to fencing, my idea has been (when the time approaches for laying out lots here) to use what old stockade posts we brought from the Watriss [and Chant] lots, as far as they will go in making a stockade fence along the western boundary, (which does not need a^^very high fence)

John T. Bradlee Esq Prest.

Dear Sir

I send you plans & papers relating to the Stone Farm received last April, and with them a new plan modified somewhat from Col. Folsom's plan, after a careful examination of the ground & maps.

The principal differences consist in some changes in location of Avenues, which, without injuring the grades of the avenues or increasing the expense in building, leave the land in better shape for division into regular lots; and in Ornamental Grounds (shown on plan in green) in dispensing with a lake at b as I think it would be difficult to provide water for it, and in adding some land around the well house.

The drainage of that portion of land between Eagle Avenue & J. Stone's land (except a small piece near St Paul's Lot which drains into a pond near there) is along the avenues toward the proposed entrance, distant from Charles River but 5 or 600 ft.

The drainage of the portion between Eagle Ave & Coolidge Avenue is provided for over the avenues and by a short drain & via Falcon Ave. to the drain now emptying into Charles River in case cesspools are not sufficient
