Mount Auburn June 9. 1873.

Sam^l T. Snow Esq. Chairman Comm. on Lots.

Dear Sir

I send you two plans of lots which belong to parties who wish to divide them differently, and exchange their present deeds.

First Case. Warren Sherbourne, (Lots 3021 & 3022. 300 feet each.) States his lots are divided lengthwise, and that he wishes to divide them according to red numbers on plan, so as to deed away new lot 3022 on Petunia Path. His lot is measured to outside of posts, and within these are 553 & 296 feet = 849 feet or 89 feet more than his deeds give him. Should the Committee allow this change, I would respectfully suggest that this additional space of 89 feet be put between the two new lots as a passageway.

Second Case. W^m W. Whitcomb owner of 3116 (230 ft.) has bought lot 2031 (300 ft.) and by permission of late Supt. has united both lots in one for which he wishes to have a new deed, in place of the two deeds he now holds. You will notice he has enclosed 6 feet less than he is entitled to.

At the junction of Halcyon, Ash & Sycamore Ave.

S. Butler Esq.

Dr Sir

I have this morning [received?] the decision of the "Committee [Trustees?]" in regard to selling you [?] the Ornamental Land you looked [at?]

You can have a lot of 300 ft [if?] you desire which will be sq 15x20 a triangular lot of 300 ft if you [prefer?]. We do not care to sell 400 ft in one lot, as it will make the [other?] lot too small.

You can have the refusal of the lot opposite Mrs Dawn Lawrence for a few weeks longer if you wish

Respectfully, J.W. Lovering Supt
