A.M. Shaw Esq

Dr Sir

Our Trustees have notified me to allow no lots around Halcyon Lake differently from Mr Bartlett's (which you & looked at a day or two ago) until they decide on the plan for finishing the Lake.

That is to say, until they decide on the plan, I have no authority to allow you to grade your lot level.

Respectfuly J.W. Lovering

Mr. H.B. Mackintosh

Dear Sir:

In the List of A.C. Bills which was handed in last week the error on Lot 150 was, that $5.00 for care and $3.00 for plants which had been paid was not charged to the Prop^r.

Very Resp'ty James W Lovering by F.C.C.

A.M. Shaw Esq

Dear Sir

It has been decided to grade the Lots around Halcyon Lake as Mr Bartletts is graded, & to put up no curbstones, steps, or fences.

If you prefer therefore to take another lot, I will exchange it for one of the same value elsewhere

Respectfuly J.W. Lovering Sup^t

Chas H. Guild Esq

Dear Sir:

The tree in the rear shall be removed; but the Trustee's would regret very much to take away the trees in the corners of the Lot. Those in the middle of the Lot they would not object to having removed as much.

I should desire very much that you would withdraw your request that the corner trees be cut.

Very Respt'y James W Lovering F.C.C.
