Walter Bender Esq Baltimore Md.

Dear Sir,

The accompanying paper came back to us from your sister in New York signed only by her husband. There should if possible, be the signatures of a majority of the heirs. Please add your signature, and, if you know where your sister in Washington ^^{Mrs. McDermott} is, get hers also, and return the petition to me.

It is several years since I began to look for the heirs of Jacob Bender, and I trust they are at last to stand upon our files, and be known here as the parties in interest. Mr Mears has kindly lent me assistance. As we are about to send a new catalogue to press, your immediate attention will much oblige us.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge, Secretary

Dear Sir,

I am directed by the Committee on Lots to inform you that the Corporation will contract for the perpetual repair of your lot, ^^{no. 1669)} (you first having a brick drain put in to carry off the superfluous water to rear of next tier of lots) for the sum of four hundred dollars.

When notified by you of your acceptance of the terms proposed, I will prepare the necessary papers.

Yours very Resp.y

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
