Gentlemen,
Capt. H. B. Heywood
of this town has applied to me
to aid him in procuring from
your town compensa-
tion for damages he sustained
in his person and property by
reason of a defect in the road
near the Fisk place. He was riding
from Lexington to Concord
on the 5th inst. and when as-
cending Fisk Hill there being
no railing on the side of
the road his horse shied
and turned over his chaise down
the bank or precipice, and se-
riously and perhaps permenantly
injured him and did damage
to his chaise. I make no doubt
from his representation that your
town are liable to make good
his loss or injury and I request
in his behalf your ateention to the
subject.
Yours respectfully
John Keyes
