P. Marett Esq New Haven, Conn.

Dear Sir,

I return the contract for perpetual repair of lot 794 at last, duly executed. I do not wonder that you thought there was unnecessary delay: but so it has happened. At first, there was a question about repairs upon the lot -- That having been settled, one of the Com^ee was absent, another had death in his family, & so I return it as soon as I have been able to do so. --

Please forward me five dollars as the fee for making & recording papers & oblige

Your Ob^t Serv^t

Dear Sir,

I am directed by the Com^ee on Lots to inform you that they will recommend the Trustees to guarantee the perpetual repair of your own lot no 3000 -- on payment of four hundred dollars: -- and of lot belonging to the heirs of Jas. O. Ward, no. 1502, on payment of four hundred and fifty dollars.

Very Resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
