He paid me for drawing the transfer and the stamps.
The charge made to you is the same made to all other persons as regulated by vote of the Trustees, when a deed is sent for record.
It is not a matter of much consequence. We can afford to lose it, if you object to pay it: but I felt it my duty to explain state the facts to you, and you can act your pleasure.
Very Respy yours

My dear Sir,
I am anxious to learn what is the place of residence of any of the children of the late Aaron Haskell of Boston, who died in 1839, leaving a widow Eleanor J. (whose maiden name was Pitts and her residence until marriage Townsend) children, Friend P., Waldo, and Lydia Haskell. Friend P. is said to have been employed for some years on the Bost. & Me. Raild (I didn't learn when) Waldo went to California -- became poor & wished to return, & Lydia died.
Aaron Haskell was a native of [Templeton?] & kept a public house at the north end of this city.

Dear Madam
With reference to your lot, I think that you could probably dispose of it during the summer and if you will let me know what you would sell it for I will see what I can do.
I do not know what the cost of moving the monument & remains from Boston would be, probably not a great deal. To take them from here and deliver at the depot of the Boston & Main R.R. in Boston would cost about $15.00
The fence would only ask as old since having been a long time without care.
I think I could get you $300 for the lot now.
Yrs truly J.W. Lovering Supt.
