J.E. Morrison Esq.

Dr Sir

I saw the late Sup^t Col. Folsom on yesterday & he says your lots were sold you on the corner of Ash and Halcyon Ave^s, but without any promise as to the path, so that I cannot recommend the committee to allow you to take the addition you have enclosed in any other way than by paying for it.

Whenever you have obtained the deed for this addition, I can assist you in exchanging your deeds for new ones, dividing the new lots as you spoke of The grading & sodding on the lots will be attended to.

Yours respectfully James W. Lovering Supt.

Dr Sir

In order to exchange your deeds, I find it customary & desirable to have a survey made of the lots so as to show the proposed changes. It has been customary to do this at the expense of the proprietor desiring the change. If you will authorize me to do this for you, I will attend to it & then lay the whole matter before the Trustees.

Yours truly James W. Lovering Sup^t

Sam^l T. Snow Esq. Chairman Comm. on Lots.

Dear Sir

I send you two plans of lots which belong to parties who wish to divide them differently, and exchange their present deeds.

First Case. Warren Sherbourne, (Lots 3021 & 3022. 300 feet each.) States his lots are divided lengthwise, and that he wishes to divide them according to red numbers on plan, so as to deed away new lot 3022 on Petunia Path. His lot is measured to outside of posts, and within these are 553 & 296 feet = 849 feet or 89 feet more than his deeds give him. Should the Committee allow this change, I would respectfully suggest that this additional space of 89 feet be put between the two new lots as a passageway.

Second Case. W^m W. Whitcomb owner of 3116 (230 ft.) has bought lot 2031 (300 ft.) and by permission of late Supt. has united both lots in one for which he wishes to have a new deed, in place of the two deeds he now holds. You will notice he has enclosed 6 feet less than he is entitled to.

At the junction of Halcyon, Ash & Sycamore Ave.
