Walter Hastings Esq. 16 Pemberton Sq. Boston

Dear Sir,

Your favor is rec'd the reason we have not removed the dead trees in your lot and set out new ones in their place is that it would be of no use to do this until fall, we had already given directions to do this and it will be done as soon as the proper time arrives. We have entered your order for Lot of Benj. R. Tinslar #3544 and will see it promptly executed

Respectfully James W. Lovering Supt. J.E.C.

S.H. Gookin Esq. 10 Devonshire St, Boston.

Dear Sir:

The probable value of Lot 1559 Verbena Path is, from $450⁰⁰ to $525⁰⁰ perhaps the last named price is the more correct.

Very Respectfully James W Lovering Supt. per Childs.

Mrs. Sarah A. Tileston 20 Pemberton Sq Boston

Dear Madam

In answer to the note at foot of your order, in reference to painting the fences of Lots 31 and 2317 I will say that the probable cost will be $10⁰⁰ for each Lot.

The present is as favorable a time as any as there is no dust to mar the appearance of the paint before drying.

Very Respectfully J.W. Lovering Supt. per Childs

Should you wish the painting done please return enclosed order

Mr Curtis has asked me to write you a note, inquiring whether it is true that the work was done upon the Bradford lot without your knowledge.

As there is a meeting next Monday, when Mr Curtis proposes to bring up this matter, with a view to afford the Tileston's some remedy, your reply before that will much oblige him.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Secy

Please address your answer to me.

Boston, Oct 31, 1861 Jona. Mann Esq

Dear Sir,

Miss Sarah A. Tileston, prop^r or daughter of the prop^r of lot 2317, on Sylvan Path, but which fronts towards Walnut Avenue, has written Mr Curtis, complaining of the obstruction to a passage way from 2^d Avenue to this lot by means of the manner in which the lot of Alden Bradford, no 176, Walnut Avenue, is enclosed. - Mr Curtis was informed by Miss Tileston that you expressed surprize at seeing the Bradford posts set as they were, and gave her to understand that you were not consulted about it, and were ignorant of it at the time.
