enlarging the Family lot by extending it to the Church avenue, wrote me a note asking if I would consent to relinquish my lot, to which I assented & reconveyed it, receiving from the Treasurer the certificate which I now hold authorizing a location elsewhere of 500 sq. feet as an original subscriber - - - An arrangement was subsequently made (when I was absent at the South) to locate us where we were at first & Mr. Abbot Lawrence, in order to settle the matter, took the deed from my lot in his name & afterward offered it to me; He paid for the lot, not knowing that I had a certificate of having already paid for it, & for the same number of sq. feet.

Now what I ask of the Trustees is to restore me the lot that I selected & paid for - 5 or 6 years ago, to accomplish which it will be necessary to reimburse Mr. Lawrence & with Interest if he requires it, for as it now stands, the Trustees have been paid twice for the same lot.

Yours truly Eben Chadwick
