Stillman Willis Esq.

Dear Sir,

Will you authorize me to let Capt Winsor, our Sup^t, have four 8 inch granite posts set on the corners of your 6 lots on Lawn Avenue - 2940 to 2945 inclusive, that your bounds may be established.

We have sold the last lot left on Laburnum Path, and wish to have all these lots put on the new survey: but wooden sticks are very liable to be misplaced.

The expense to you will not exceed $10. -

Please reply and oblige.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Secretary
