J.J. White Esq

Dear Sir,

I enclose bills due from your mother & sister. They have been sent sometime since to Newton, & returned through the dead letter office. It was some time before I found out that your mother had gone to your place, & your sister to Europe.

Mrs Kinmouth (who I learn has again married) ^^{(I don't know the name)} has bill of $23.06 for grading & $17. for gardening -- which I presume Mr Brigham will pay if directed.

Mrs White's bills are $57.85 for foundation for mon^t &c. & $21.00 for gardening.

Early attention to said bills will much oblige.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y Treas^r

Dear Sir,

Yours of 5^th with enclosure of deed of lot 3469 & $13 to pay bills was duly rec^d. I return the deed whc. has been recorded.

As $2. the fee for record was requisite I took that amt from the $13. & applied $1. for interest -- making the old bill $11 & fee for deed $2 -- & than return all to you free of charge.

I sent out at once to Capt. Winsor, the Sup^t, to have an estimate of the cost of the work you desire to be done, & when I get his answer, I will inform you --

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y & Treas^r

Dear Sir,

I have just rec^d from Mr Chas. R. Messenger of Toledo Ohio, prop^r of lot 3469, the enclosed orders, with his draft to cover the amount -- $65.00 -- paid in advance, & he desires you to proceed to execute the orders forthwith. $50. for new grading & sodding -- $6. for care of lot & plants, & $9. to be "expended in a few suitable flowers, the selection of which I will leave to your Superintendent's taste."

He intends at some day to enclose the lot with curb, but thinks the expenditures here ordered will greatly improve his lot. --

Mr Joel Richards has just called in, & desires me to say
