Mr George A Smith Waltham

Dear Sir,

The expense to spread one coat of black paint on your fence in lot #914 will be $7.50; two coats $12.00

I would advise you to remove the fence. it will pay for cutting over 4 corner posts cutting number^⁹¹⁴ on front right corner one, filling and sodding over intermediate post holes and cleaning all stone in the lot. June 9^th I wrote you in regard to this same affair, probably the letter was miscarried.

Yours Very truly - J.W. Lovering Supt pr Brown

Yours very truly. James W. Lovering Supt per Brown

J. W. Lovering, Esq.

Your letter is just rec'd.

About one year since, we corresponded with the Secretary, Mr. Reed, about selling the lot, & he informed us, that there had just been a lot sold on Indian Ridge Path, at the rate of two and one half dollars per square foot. Our lot is a choice one from its good (and elevated location, and the heirs consider that it should command a price ^equal to other lots in vicinity.

The Heirs request to hear what the charge will be for selling, &c.

The no. of our lot is 2850.

Res. Yours,

Mrs. R. G. Coffin

Please answer soon & find stamp enclosed.
