Mr Coolidge regrets to have to write Mrs Belknap again on what seems to him so plain a case. Mrs B. still ignores the fact that the bill presented her is not for the same year as the one which she claims she paid Nov. 30, 1865, & which it is allowed she paid on that date. That was $17.00 for the year 1865, as her receipt shows.

The bill sent by the present Treasurer is for the year 1864, amounting to $7. This was ordered by Mrs Codman, & the books do not show, & Mrs Belknap does not show that it has ever been paid.

It is hoped that said bill will be paid without further trouble.

Dear Sir,

A bill for care of lot in 1867 of $10. is still due. Mrs Cains thought bill was paid, but would look for receipt. I have since sent bill for 1868 --

Allow me to press once more upon your attention the fact that the old accts. must be settled, either by payment or evidence of previous payment. We have searched our books, & they do not show a payment.

Mrs Cains also requested me to prepare deed for you to execute, which has been waiting for you these two months.

Respy yours

A.J. Coolidge
