She thinks she will first consult her cousin, whether he may not wish for it. --

Will you, if I should not see you, please show her in the neighborhood of the new Fountain -- also the lot you purchased on Laurel Hill. --

I also mentioned to her the high ground just southerly of the new Av^e you are making up by Myrtle Path. I told her it is as yet unfitted for sale. She thinks she before marked this ground.

I shall try to get up there. If the weather should be unfavorable the party will not come out. --

Truly yours

Capt. D L Winsor,

Dear Sir,

I wish you would endeavor to report upon lot 525 Olive Path, to Oliver A. Farwell, if you can. I am inclined to, think, from Mr Shedd's statement, that his surveyor's measurement is correct - for he states that although he gives one of the distances on the sketch handed you, as 13ft., that was a mere error of figures there, and that he calculated the area by calling that distance 15 feet. It seems a pity, when the money has been ready for the lot so long, that the proprietor should not receive his deeds. I have the impression the figures he gave me were 356 ft. but your memo will show. My former note contained it as he gave it to me.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
