1882-04-10 Letter: Charles C. Smith, Boston Gas Light Company, to [Superintendent], about the Whittemore Lot 185, 2014.020.006-007

Subject: Letterhead. [in pencil]

OFFICE OF THE BOSTON GAS LIGHT COMPANY, 24 WEST STREET, BOSTON, April 10, 1882

[written in left margin] 1^25^ per foot. Brown has plan [underlined]

Dear Sir;

I wish to make some inquiries about the Whittemore Lot (No. 185, Rose Path) now represented by my wife.

What is its size? 300 [in blue pencil]

Is there not a strip of land adjoining it which belongs to the corporation, and which can be used for enlarging it?

If so, how much land?

In the original survey, or in setting out the hedge, there was some mistake made, so there was at one time such a strip.

My wife, who is in London, where our only son died on Saturday, knows better than her sisters about the facts in the case; but it is desirable to ascertain what can be done before her return.

Very truly yours,

Ch^s^ C. Smith.
