C.E. Morrison Esq.

D[ea]r Sir

Your favor of the 13^th inst at hand, and I would say in reply that the four lots 4190, 1. 2. 3, with additional space make 1473 feet, which you can divide into four lots. 3 of 368 feet each = 1104 and one lot of 369 feet - 369 making a total of 1473 sq feet. So that all that is necessary is for you to take the space & make the application.

Mr Baker has an order from one to put the sod in order.

Yours truly James W. Lovering Supt.

Moses Stevens Esq. Boston

D[ea]r Sir

In looking up the matter of the space between your lot and the curbed lot next East, I can see no remedy for the thing unless the slope of the bank is made more graded which would bring it onto your lot, and I suppose you would not consent to having your posts moved, and making the lot smaller. The bank as now sloped is too steep for a sod to remain long.

Respectfully James W. Lovering
