Geo. H. Peters,Esq., Boston.

Dear Sir: -

The fence on lot 2068, Central ave., in the name of the heirs of S. K. Williams needs to be painted. The donation of $40.00 is not enough to cover this expense. Will the heirs be willing to pay for this or would they consent to the removal of the fence, which can be done for the old material.

Dear Sir: -

Messrs Bowker, Torrey & Co. have sent me the sizes of two foundations which they say that you are to order. As the season for that kind of work will soon be at an end, it is important that the order, with the exact locations should be sent soon.

Chas. E. Hall, Esq., Boston.

Dear Sir: -

I have received an order to build a foundation in the lot of the late Samuel Batchelder, for which you were to send the size. It is important that I should have this at once, as from the number of foundations ordered at this season there may be considerable delay.

Respectfully yours,
