Capt. D.L. Winsor

Dear Sir,

Please send me a report on the condition &c of lot 2820 Lawn Av^e (Mrs Deborah C. Powers) and an estimate of the cost of perpetual repair.—

Please explain your note in answer to 7^th question about the Parker lots 1250, 1315 & 1333 which is "3 pr steps into lots & 3 pr steps in the banks, without buttresses".—

Do you mean that those steps exist there & will make it practicable to require more than $1000, or that such steps should be erected before entereing upon the contract?.

Mrs Powers wishes immediately to pay the sum for hers.

How about the key to W.W. Stone's tomb, & bill?

Yours Truly A.J. Coolidge

If the weather is fine, I think I must see you tomorrow morning.
