Jeremy Drake Esq^r

Dear Sir,

I am informed by
our Superinendent that the repairs
required to be made upon the lot of the
late Mrs Mumford (no 126 Willow Av^e)
before the Corporation would assume the contract
for perpetual repair, were overlooked by him in
the hurry of business last fall, although he had your
order therefore.

It has occurred to me that the Corporation
can as well receive the $300 and put it upon inter-
est, subject to the completion of the repairs, which
can be done in the Spring. If this is satisfac-
tory to you, I will make out the document for it
when you say so. Then there will be an ample
fund at the head of 1864 to pay the bills of
that year, & probably a surplus. --

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Capt. D.L. Winsor, Sup^t

Dear Sir,

William Dehon Esq,
the proprietor of the large lot no. 2337 between
Pyrola & Bellwort Paths wishes to take
and pay for the lot on the north side
of Pyrola Path, opposite to his lot, and
situated between lots 218 & 3279, the latter
belonging to Edwin O. Tufts. - He wishes
it for a friend. I think you said it
was engaged to some one else - but if there
has been no bargain which can be consid-
ered as a sale, Mr D. would seem to have
the prior claim, as he is ready to pay for it.

Will you please see to the enclosed
internment order - common grave - funeral
in Chapel at 12 M. Friday. -

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y
