John T. Bradlee Esq. Pres^t Board of Trustees. D Sir,

John J. Wyeth now holds 3 deeds for 836 feet of land viz one 300, one 300, + one 236 total 836 feet. His lots are posted #1800 - 342 feet, #1896, 378 feet and space between lots 99 feet., total 819 feet, or 17 feet less than deeds. He wishes to exchange his three deeds for two new ones, taking at the same time the 17 feet which are due him. I agree with him in thinking the best way to do this is, to make new lot #1800 contain the present lot of same number, (342 feet) and the present space of 99 ft. between lots, that is 441 feet. New lot #1896 contains the 378 feet now in lot of same number and the balance due him can be obtained by moving the posts on Spruce Ave out one foot, thereby taking 24 1/4 feet or 7 1/4 feet [more?] than due him, which he will buy. Please instruct me in this matter. Yours truly James W. Lovering Sup^t
