Capt. Winsor,

Dear Sir,

I believe I promised to send you a statement of the granite posts needed for points /or surveyors, which you were to order: -

150 posts - from 2 1/2 to 3 feet long - not less than 2 1/2 feet. The small end to be six inches square, with a drill hole in the centre, say an inch deep. The surveyor prefers they should be tapering, to heave less with frost.

The sooner we have these on the ground, the better it will please the surveyor.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Dear Sir,

In cases where a lot is sold with a condition to erect a granite curb within a specific time, as I understand yours is one - the deed is not delivered until the condition is performed.

The proprietor is not compelled (I will say in answer to your question) to employ the Corporation to put up his granite work; but it must be done under the supervision of the Superintendent.

If there is any misunderstanding on your part, I doubt not the Corporation will refund the money & take your lot.

Respy yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
