Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Office of Superintendant, Mt. Auburn, March 19. 1873

Mr. Stone,

Dear Sir,

A party in search of a small lot has made enquiry in regard to the space in rear of your lot #3769.

By the Bye-laws [sic] of the Corporation, you have the right to take the land at 1/3 the price, at which it would be sold as a separate lot, on condition of making no interments therein holding it as a passage-way.

Its form is rectangular, 15 ft. x 6 = 90 sq. ft.

90 ft. @ .33 ¢ per ft. =	$30.00
Deed	2.00
[Total]	$32.00

[Image: diagram of Lot 3769 on Cuphea Path and Halcyon Avenue. 15ft at top of image, 7ft at right; inside rectangle is 6 ft on both top left and right side, 90 sq ft. top center. Also inside are two lines a 1/4 of the way down with illegible text and the number 3769 underneath the bottom line. on either end of the two lines are darkened circles, the right hand one has 6ft under it; 2 dark circles are at each bottom corner of the rectangle. a path drawing is alongside the rectangle named [Cuphea Path]; underneath [Halcyon Ave.]

Please inform me at your earliest convenience, whether you wish to do anything in regard to the matter

Respectfully yours C. W. Folsom Supt

J.E. Morrison Esq.

Dr Sir

I saw the late Sup^t Col. Folsom on yesterday & he says your lots were sold you on the corner of Ash and Halcyon Ave^s, but without any promise as to the path, so that I cannot recommend the committee to allow you to take the addition you have enclosed in any other way than by paying for it.

Whenever you have obtained the deed for this addition, I can assist you in exchanging your deeds for new ones, dividing the new lots as you spoke of The grading & sodding on the lots will be attended to.

Yours respectfully James W. Lovering Supt.

W^m W. Whitcomb Esq.

Dr Sir

In order to exchange your deeds, I find it customary & desirable to have a survey made of the lots so as to show the proposed changes. It has been customary to do this at the expense of the proprietor desiring the change. If you will authorize me to do this for you, I will attend to it & then lay the whole matter before the Trustees.

Yours truly James W. Lovering Sup^t

Sam^l T. Snow Esq. Chairman Comm. on Lots.

Dear Sir

I send you two plans of lots which belong to parties who wish to divide them differently, and exchange their present deeds.

First Case. Warren Sherbourne, (Lots 3021 & 3022. 300 feet each.) States his lots are divided lengthwise, and that he wishes to divide them according to red numbers on plan, so as to deed away new lot 3022 on Petunia Path. His lot is measured to outside of posts, and within these are 553 & 296 feet = 849 feet or 89 feet more than his deeds give him. Should the Committee allow this change, I would respectfully suggest that this additional space of 89 feet be put between the two new lots as a passageway.

Second Case. W^m W. Whitcomb owner of 3116 (230 ft.) has bought lot 2031 (300 ft.) and by permission of late Supt. has united both lots in one for which he wishes to have a new deed, in place of the two deeds he now holds. You will notice he has enclosed 6 feet less than he is entitled to.

At the junction of Halcyon, Ash & Sycamore Ave.
