George V. Leverett, Esq. Boston

Dear Sir:-

Lots #331 and #332 are each 15 feet front and 20 feet deep, making, as there is no separation between them, a total frontage of 30 feet. The tomb appears to have built on both lots, so that it would as you suggest, be necessary to reconvey both, unless the tomb should be removed and the burials made in the ground.

Respectfully yours,

Sup't.
