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

Dear Sir

I have your favor the 8^th ints. The lots #851 & 1896 were topdressed on Nov. 5^th; the charge on #1896 was not rendered at the time the rest were on account of an overcharge, since corrected, the orders have been recorded, however ever since the day received, and the lots were attended to among the first. We have so many small gardening charges to be entered on the Treasurer's books every fall, that occasionally a bill is rendered before some small part of the order is completed, but of course I don't ask or expect any one to pay until the work has been examined.

The last order you signed was for care for 1874. We do not usually ask for orders so early, but it was found more convenient to do so this year. I regret
