Capt. Winsor,

Dear Sir,

I have to request one more report -- upon lot 291, Jasmine Path, estate of Chas. T. Hildreth.

The care of this lot is enjoined upon the Widows & Fatherless Society of Boston, who have certain funds under said Hildreth's will, as an annuity. And if the Corporation will assume it for a sum which they think will cause no loss to them, they will probably prefer to be exhonorated from the care of the lot, and pass it over to the care of the Corporation. As it is a charitable Soc.y you will of course be disposed to put your figures as low as can be safely made for the Corporation.

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Mrs Charles Tufts

Madam,

I have had a report made by the Superintendent upon the lots of Mr Tufts & Mr Packard & laid before the Comee on Lots, and they have approved the making of a contract on both lots for $600 each. -- The former contract price was $500. That was four years ago, since which rates have advanced, and you have each added a monument to the lot. If the Committee had asked more still, I should not have been at all surprised, as they will not take risks for all time as they did three or four years ago: -- and I think they have been quite fair in their estimate.

Now upon the matter of laying out & selling a small to lot out of the

C.G. Nazro Esqr

Dear Sir,

The requisite examination and report upon the lot of the late Dr C. T. Hildreth no. 291, having been made, and the Committee on Lots having considered the same, have directed me to notify the Fatherless and Widows Society through you, that this Corporation will guarantee the perpetual repair of said lot for the sum of three hundred and seventy five dollars. ($375.)

I am Very Resp.y

Your Obt Servt

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Mrs Benj. F. Danforth

Dear Madam,

I regret I was not at the office when you called in and left the papers which I sent you without being executed. I think you must misunderstand the legal position. The will gives the lot to yourself & daughter equally, and unless Mr Vaughn sees fit to transfer by deed all his interest to you, the only proper course is to agree between you which of you shall represent the lot, then both of you sign the petition and send it to me. If you do not understand it, please see me, as I have nobody who can advise you on a matter of this kind.

As we are fast progressing with the catalogue, we wish your decision.

Resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
