Gentlemen
Lots 3490 & 3499 on Dianthus Path are wrongly numbered. Lot 3490 should be 3499 and vice versa. We have given orders to have the nos. changed please be sure that the numbers are correct on the new plan
Respectfully James W. Lovering Supt. J.E.C.

Gentlemen,
Please send me tomorrow the inside measures to lots 3498 (Cutter) 3517 (Fray) 3518 & 3519 (Thompsons) on Laurel Ave. I send the plans, on which I wish ^you to mark the length of inside lines, & the middle ordinates, from which I can make deeds.
Send me also the same for lot 1463, on Thistle Path (Mrs Hemenway's) which contains 790 sq. ft.-
It is laid down on plan, but the exterior measures are given, so as to be no guide for me in describing.-
I shall have to ask you to send to Mt Auburn & survey some of the irregular lots:- [?]} [?]} each other}
Among these I wish
3495 | rear of 179 Walnut Av. | contents | 168f. |

Dear Sir,
There is an error in casting the contents of lot no. 3499 on Dianthus Path, that of Norris Fines, which I think you will, percieve on a moment's reflection, [Image: diagram with measurments] You have given the contents as 123 feet, which figures can be obtained only be adding the opposite sides, and multiplying the halves together, ie, 14 x 9 & one-half = 133. But in a figure of [duel?] unequal sides, this makes a considerable error, as you see if you divide the lot into a rectangle and triangle, which gives you but 123 & one-half feet, or 9 & one-half less than you returned.-
This figure is a trapezoid, i.e, one with four sides only two of which are parallel. The rule for finding the area of a trapezoid is:-
"Multiply half the sum of its parallel sides by the distance between them:" - for it is equal to two triangles whose bases are the two parallel sides of the trapezoid, and whose altitude is the distance between them. To prove it in this case, - the lot [Image: Trapezoid diagram with figures.] A.B.C.D. is divided into the two triangles A.B.C and A.C.D - The base of A.B.C is A.B., it's altitude is B.C, The base of A.C.D. is A.D its altitude E.D.- A.B.C = 13 x 3 = 39. A.C.D = 13 x 6 & one-half = 84 & one-half total 123 & one-half Or take A.B.C.E as a rectangle and the area is 13 x 6 = 78. Add triangle C.E.D = 13 x 3 & one-half = 45 & one-half - total 123 and one-half ft. But the bases of the triangles must always be the parallel sides of the traphezoid.
What will you do? report say 124f and let the Treasr refund $9.?
Yours Respectfully
The above rule is an excellent one. In this case where the parallel sides are A.D. and B.C "half the distance betwen them" ( meaning of course the shortest distance) is either A.B or the dotted line E.C-
