The by-laws are now sufficient for making a finish of all such cases & it is high time we had done with the matter of getting lots bounded. --

Can you not, as fast as you get the raking along, have this work going on? I presume there are comparatively few cases where raking the leaves would be an assistance to this work.

The Committee some time since decided to have all the unbounded lots reported, and posts put to them.

I have before me some papers that have been a good while on my files, & wish to finish the matter. A bill dated Sep. 28, 1862 was made & sent me for putting bounds to lot no 498 -- S. Lathrop amounting to $8. -- Just before this sending the bill to Mr Sam. E. Sewall who is the Trustee under L's will, he wrote me a note stating that the heirs complained that we have removed from the lot four freestone posts & chains from the lot, and no one could give any account of the matter. I well remember that the lot had these posts & chains, & suppose it got reported without bounds by reason of the absence of one of the posts -- perhaps all the chains. Have you ever made any further discovery in the matter? If not, & we have set new posts, we ought certainly to resend the bill, which Mr Sewall very properly refused to pay.

Very Respy yours
