I also enclose Shedd & Sawyer's plans of the Lots in question (bound together) with a memorandum of the conclusion; I arrived at, in looking them over with their surveyor.

In some cases no determination has yet been arrived at, as in the case of the lot on Page 28, (#2651) where the curb was within the space allowed for Passageways, also Lots #331 & #332 Alder Path (loose sheet facing Page 2) which is there explained.

Dear Sir,

Mr Henry O. How- ard, one of the heirs of the lot of late Abraham Howard 331. Alder Path, wishes to purchase the land in the rear of both lots - 331 & 332 - as an addition to said lots, if he can arrange with the other heirs, which he will know in a few days. In the meantime, please not sell it, if you have a call for it, without letting me know.

Please attend to the enclosed note of W^m F. Matchatt.

P. S. Also report on lots 331 & 332 in reference to guaranty for perpetual repairs.--
