Washington Greene, Esq. Portland, Me.

Dear Sir: -

I have a complaint from the proprietor of an adjoining lot of the neglected condition of the lot of the late Charles T. Greene. Are there any heirs or can you tell me of any one who would be interested in putting the lot in order.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Mrs. Wm. Luke, Cambridge.

Dear Madam: -

Your note is received, there are two Luke lots, and I do not know to which of them you refer, but as we do not have records of the titles to parts of a lot I do not suppose I could give you the information you asked for.

Repectfully yours,

Supt.

Mrs S.A. Post

Dear Madam,

I am sorry for the brevity of your communication in reply to mine respecting the Pelby lot. I must suppose either that Mrs Hague is indifferent to the matter, or regards me as soliciting some favor -- which is certainly not so. If Mrs H. disclaims all connection with and ownership in the tomb, it is very proper to say so, and if her sister does the same, the Trustees will then understand what course to pursue. They will order the tomb closed and regard everyone as barred from exercising any authority in regard to it. But if, on the other hand, Mrs Hague desires to retain her interest in and right over the lot, I think she should answer more particularly the questions I asked. She has indeed signed the paper sent, but has not indicated her wishes in case Mrs Roby refuses. But I first wish to know where Mrs Roby is, before I can ascertain whether she refuses. You say -- "the last she knew of her, she was living at her daughter's in Portland Maine". What is her daughter's name -- to whom married, if a married woman. I must be able to address some one, particularly in so large a place.

Now, although this is not my duty, I am willing to assist so far as you desire.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge

Madam

I have examined the Lee lot #3277 and find that to reset clamp and lead curbing and steps and to repair sodding on lot and on bank will cost $42.

Harry May Esq. Portland Me.

Dear Sir

I have examined the Gerrey lot #3375 and find that the old material of fence will pay for removal for cutting over 4 posts for the corners, cutting the number on one of them, fill up and sod over all post holes and clean the stones on lot.

Very respectfully J.W. Lovering pr J.C.S. Supt
