P. Marett Esq New Haven, Conn.

Dear Sir,

I return the contract for perpetual repair of lot 794 at last, duly executed. I do not wonder that you thought there was unnecessary delay: but so it has happened. At first, there was a question about repairs upon the lot -- That having been settled, one of the Com^ee was absent, another had death in his family, & so I return it as soon as I have been able to do so. --

Please forward me five dollars as the fee for making & recording papers & oblige

Your Ob^t Serv^t

W^m. C. Murdock Esq

Dear Sir,

I am directed by the Com^ee on Lots to inform you that they will recommend the Trustees to guarantee the perpetual repair of your own lot no 3000 -- on payment of four hundred dollars: -- and of lot belonging to the heirs of Jas. O. Ward, no. 1502, on payment of four hundred and fifty dollars.

Very Resp.y yours

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
