Dear Sir

The gutters of Crocus & Saffron Paths can be paved and graded at an expense of $30 dollars, in addition to the paving stones of which we have enough on hand. I do not know what these cost, but should think they might be replaced for $15 to $20. at the outside.

I will report on levels the first time I get in to town.

Yours respectfuly J.W. Lovering

Dear Sir:

Lots 2789 & 2790 being in the same enclosure we will take them at the same price as last year. The change in the extra charge and in sending two circulars was a mistake. With this please find a corrected circular which please sign & return.

Capt. D.L. Winsor,

Dear Sir,

Mr W^m M. Lathrop called in this P.M. and says he thinks he gave you an order for both posting & grading lots 3363 & 3364, Acanthus P. rear of 1833 & 1856. He talked over the size of the posts, & thinks he signed his name to the order book. -- If he is in error, please inform me, and I will have him give the proper order. -- He would like to have the grading done this season, if not too late: at all events, set the posts.

As it will probably be a day or two before the surveyors get out to you, I think it will be well for you to set as many of the posts to the lots of delinquent proprietors as possible: -- and their survey would then be the more complete. I subjoin a list of ^^all the earlier lots contained on the list shown you, remaining without bounds. --

Thirty two in number -- and less than I had supposed on so long a list.

Will you also, in compliance with the request of the Com^ee on Lots furnish me before next Monday, a list of all lots of which the bounds have been neg-- lected. The above will aid you somewhat, but I am not sure that it embraces all since 3000.

Yours truly

Capt Winsor

Dear Sir,

I have examined the report of lots sold in the hand of Mr Bond, and find you have never reported the lot on Saffron P. to Jos. P. Williams. The "dupli- cate" report which you find among your papers does not correspond with Mr Bond's --

It appears that you first reported lot 3554 on Saffron P. (not the same no. of feet however) to W^m Lowry, & in the next report changed Lowry to Primrose & gave him a new no. ^⁽³⁵⁵⁹⁾ The old number is the one which you appear to have ^^given J.P.W. -- 3554 --

Please add it to Mr B's reports --

Will you bring in a report upon the lot of John C. Tebbetts, 731 Moss P.

Please give Mr Safford the enclosed.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge

W^m C Murdock Esq

Dear Sir,

I enclose you the contract for lot 1502. When you have signed it -- paid the money top Geo. W^m Bond Treas^r -- 167 Congress, and obtained his signature to the paper, return it to me, and I will have it completed and recorded for you. The next meeting of the Trustees occurs next Monday, and if the paper shall have been returned me before then, I will get the assent of the Board. --

I had hoped you might bring the other matters into the this year's operations.

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge
