Capt. D.L. Winsor

Dear Sir,

Please send me
a report on the condition &c of lot
2820 Lawn Av^e (Mrs Deborah C.
Powers) and an estimate of the
cost of perpetual repair.—

Please explain your note in answer
to 7^th question about the Parker lots 1250, 1315 & 1333
which is "3 pr steps into lots & 3 pr steps in
the banks, without buttresses".—

Do you mean that those steps
exist there & will make it practicable to require
more than $1000, or that such steps should
be erected before entereing upon the contract?.

Mrs Powers wishes immediately to
pay the sum for hers.

How about the key to W.W. Stone's tomb, & bill?

Yours Truly
A.J. Coolidge

If the weather is fine, I think I must see you tomorrow morning.

Octo. 3. 4 [186]4

Stephen F. Gates Esq.

My dear Sir,

The Committee on
Lots have instructed me to notify
you that the Corporation will
contract for the perpetual repair
of your lot on Laurel Avenue, No 3348,
for four hundred and twenty five
dollars.— This is the sum suggested
by the Superintendent.

If this is satisfactory to you, I
will prepare the necessary papers.—

Yours trule

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y
