S.T. Snow Esq Chairman Comm. on Lots.

Dear Sir

I find the following lots wrongly numbered.

Lot 2366	Buy. Beal	numbered on Iron gate	#2368
" 218	Mandell	[numbered on] curb	#1668
" 2178	Bennet	[numbered on curb]	2179
2179	[Bennet]	[numbered on curb]	2178
*3428	Thayer	[numbered on curb]	3429
3429	Hovey	[numbered on curb]	3428
6687	Cole Rice	[numbered on] base of monument	667.

*Mr Thayer's deed is #3428; the lot he has used & which is marked with his name is #3429 on ground, and sectional plans.

The numbers on these curb lots are "raised in panel"; the raised figures can be cut down, and the same figures sunk in the panel.

Very respectfuly J.W. Lovering

Dear Sir,

I am informed by our Superinendent that the repairs required to be made upon the lot of the late Mrs Mumford (no 126 Willow Av^e) before the Corporation would assume the contract for perpetual repair, were overlooked by him in the hurry of business last fall, although he had your order therefore.

It has occurred to me that the Corporation can as well receive the $300 and put it upon interest, subject to the completion of the repairs, which can be done in the Spring. If this is satisfactory to you, I will make out the document for it when you say so. Then there will be an ample fund at the head of 1864 to pay the bills of that year, & probably a surplus. --

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Dear Sir,

William Dehon Esq, the proprietor of the large lot no. 2337 between Pyrola & Bellwort Paths wishes to take and pay for the lot on the north side of Pyrola Path, opposite to his lot, and situated between lots 218 & 3279, the latter belonging to Edwin O. Tufts. - He wishes it for a friend. I think you said it was engaged to some one else - but if there has been no bargain which can be considered as a sale, Mr D. would seem to have the prior claim, as he is ready to pay for it.

Will you please see to the enclosed internment order - common grave - funeral in Chapel at 12 M. Friday. -

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
