Mr W^m H. Blood 77 Franklin St

Dear Sir,

I enclose you a note written to
Mrs John Blood by myself & rec^d again by me from
the dead letter office under date of Dec^r 18^th & since
writing it & before its return from Washington, I have
written her another addressed in the same way to
her at Charlestown, to which I have rec^d no reply .-
Ascertaining who was cutting a curb for the lot,
I inquired of Mr Hutchinson and obtained your
address.

Will you please get the deed from our Trea.
Mr Bond (167 Congress St.) and confer with your
mother - then with me? If the curb is being cut
as Mr Hutchinson told me 16f x 17f x 18f x 18f the deed
(which I returned to the Treas^r despairing of hearing
from Mrs Blood, & which gives the dimensions of
lot as 15 x 20 f) should be corrected.

Please see that the other letter is not sent for
to the dead letter office.

Yours resp.y

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y Mt.

Capt D.L. Winsor Sup^t

Dear Sir,

Please report
upon the condition of the Cedar
Hill Enclosure, belonging to W^m
Appleton. I send a blank sup-
posing you might not have the
contents at hand.

Please not allude to Mrs Sam.
Appleton's or Mrs Peabody's lot-,
as they form no necessary part of
the enclosure, and Mr A. will
not think of providing for them.

The lots 3363, 3364, 3388, 3389
in the rear of Acanthus Path, which I un-
derstood you were posted, Curtis has not
on the plan. He says he noticed them as
being only staked.

Have you ever found
my note of Christmas Day?

Yours truly

A. J. Coolidge Sec.y
