Capt. D.L. Winsor

Dear Sir,

As the Committee on Lots wish to pay you a visit, and the following lots, which are destitute of numbers, gave them some trouble on their last visit, it seems to me that it will be well for you forthwith to have the numbers cut on the stone post, or wherever you can to best advantage. Probably most of them will pay the bill, the remainder the Corporation must pay:

692	Greenbrier P.	Lois Mason's heirs --	Rep.	Nathan Fiske - Cambridge
833	Yarrow P.	Caroline Doane's heirs --	"	?
439	Indian Ridge P.	Charles B. Shaw --	-	Tremont Bk. 41 State St
473	Beech Av.	Catherine Putnam's heirs	-	Corpn in trust
497	Willow Av.	Israel Lombard's heirs	Rep.	Mrs Israel Lombard
575	Pilgrim P.	Dr Geo. C. Shattuck	-	15 Pemberton Sq.
587	Moss P.	First Universalist Soc.y	-	Corpn in trust
680	Yarrow P.	Fessenden Mont	-	Corpn in trust
859	Snowdrop P. -	Mrs Nathan Appleton	-	(late Jesse Sumner's)
2151	Grange P.	Samuel S. Osgood	-	New York
2354	Willow Av.	Dr John Bacon	-	15 Somerset St.

I notified owners of lots 692, 497, & 859, and one or more of them may have ordered you to do the work. I am quite sure Mrs Lombard has (lot 497.)

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge

Sec.y
