Dear Sir,
We have today rec'd a letter from the Props. of Lot #659 Elm Ave saying that he wishes to buy the space you are looking at, so that we shall be unable to let you have it.
The space in rear of Gerardia Path (near Halcyon Lake) is still at our disposal, and we should be happy to sell you any size of lot you may wish in that section
Respectfully Yours J.W. Lovering Supt. Per E.T.K.

Sir:
Mr Josiah M. Jones, who is the Exor of Mrs Otis Fairbanks, (just deceased) representative of lot 659, Greenbrier -- wishes to know how much needs to be done to the lot to put it in order, & what it will cost. Mrs F. three years ago gave the Corporation $100 to keep the lot in order. She has left in her will $200 more. Mr Jones says the lot looks badly -- I told him, if a lot was in bad order the income of $100 would not help it, & it was probably not in good order 3 years ago.
Perhaps it will be well for you to report on both at same time -- cost of present repair -- cost of perpetual repair
Resp.y yours

Please proceed at once, if possible to do it before cold weather, with the present repairs. Please reply by mail, or when you come in tomorrow,if whether you can finish it, and if the estimate includes the removal of a tree, which Mr Jones says needs to be taken out.
He is ready to pay the fund & bill as soon as we are ready. -
Very Respy yours
Dear Sir,
I am informed that you have called once or twice at my office for a deed of lot no. 3800 in the Cemetery. I presume you misapprehend the practice with the Corporation. The invariable course is not to make a deed until after the purchaser has been to the Treasurer & paid for the lot.
Please call upon our Treasr Geo Wm Bond, 13th Federal St. (new place) & pay him $213.25, and you will get a receipt which will enable you to go forward with your the use of your lot. I shall then make the deed so soon as I can get a return from the surveyor.
Resp.y yours

Capt. D.L. Winsor, Supt
Sir,
Please endorse upon the enclosed descriptions of lots for perpetual repair the fact that the repairs preliminary to the acceptance by the Corporation of said lots have been made - as fast as each is done.
I have placed the form on the 2d page in case of Isaiah Atkins' lot 454 - of Otis Fairbanks, lot 659 - and of John Woods, lot 2144 -
Will you please review your estimate in the case of John Woods of $400. - It seemed to me from the description, the guarantee might be given for $350. As we shall have about $312 left in the fund after your bill for repairs is in (that is if your bill is $45.) I am anxious to induce the proprietor to pay in enough more to make it up to a guaranty: and I don't believe I can do it, if $400 is required. The lot does not seem to me to involve much greater risk than 3040, Mary Sargent; - 77 J.F. Flagg and 40, T. C. Singleton, every one of which the Trustees have agreed to guarantee for $350. -
Will you strike from the description of lots 358 & 359 the ^final terms at bottom, "when put in order," unless the lots really need repair. You have not stated any to be necessary. My impression is that the lots were recently newly graded. If new grading is required, probably nothing will be done towards paying in the fund until another year. -
Respy yours
