W^m S. Dexter Esq.

Dr Sir

I understand from the late Sup^t Col. Folsom that you looked at some ground near the lot of H.A. Whitney Esq - with the view of buying a lot there.

The lot has been restaked so as to make a good lot of about 284 feet which I thought I would offer to you before any one else, as you had looked at it once.

I should be glad to have your decision before long, as I am having frequent applications for lots, but I shall not dispose of this before June 7^th and hope to hear from you by that time

Respectfully James W. Lovering Supt.

May 28^th [187]3 Hon Sidney Bartlett.

Dear Sir

I have the honor to acknowledge your favor of the 28^th inst. I have had a statement made up, showing the details of the work done for you, adding also the amount of stone used in the foundation, which my clerk rendered in a separate bill, so that this account now comprises everything except the setting of the corner posts, which I think are not now ready.

I happened to meet Col. Folsom and made some inquiries from him as to his agreement with you, and think you will find I have come within his estimate.

Respectfully Yrs. James W. Lovering Sup^t

A.M. Shaw Esq

Dr Sir

Our Trustees have notified me to allow no lots around Halcyon Lake differently from Mr Bartlett's (which you & looked at a day or two ago) until they decide on the plan for finishing the Lake.

That is to say, until they decide on the plan, I have no authority to allow you to grade your lot level.

Respectfuly J.W. Lovering

Mr. H.B. Mackintosh

Dear Sir:

In the List of A.C. Bills which was handed in last week the error on Lot 150 was, that $5.00 for care and $3.00 for plants which had been paid was not charged to the Prop^r.

Very Resp'ty James W Lovering by F.C.C.

A.M. Shaw Esq

Dear Sir

It has been decided to grade the Lots around Halcyon Lake as Mr Bartletts is graded, & to put up no curbstones, steps, or fences.

If you prefer therefore to take another lot, I will exchange it for one of the same value elsewhere

Respectfuly J.W. Lovering Sup^t

Chas H. Guild Esq

Dear Sir:

The tree in the rear shall be removed; but the Trustee's would regret very much to take away the trees in the corners of the Lot. Those in the middle of the Lot they would not object to having removed as much.

I should desire very much that you would withdraw your request that the corner trees be cut.

Very Respt'y James W Lovering F.C.C.
