Dear Sir: -
Please report upon lot 2887, Larch Av. 60 ft - belonging to Mrs Anna R. Goodwin for perpetual repair -- also state what repairs will cost if any are first needed. --
Mr Thos. Richardson is very anxious about the price of land -- 200 feet more or less on the northerly side of the Alger lot -- at the end of Elm Av -- Somebody has reported to him that it has been sold; but I told him I thought not. He is in the Alger family, & wishes to purchase it --
Will you survey it up to the Alger line, & let him know through me how much it contains --
Truly yours,
