Josiah B. Hagar Esq 37 Long Wharf Boston
Dear Sir:
Lot No. 3028 Rosebay Ave contains 600 sq. ft. The regular price for that sized Lot is for care $8.00, for top dressing $7.00. We do not consider it using other proprietors in good faith, to make special contract with any one at reduced rates. We must therefore respectfully decline to care for your lot for $3.00 per an., but trust that you will return enclosed order duly signed
Very Respectfully James W Lovering Supt per Childs

Dear Sir
I have order for 1872 from Mr Nickerson for care & Mr Collins says he took care of lot; also an order for 1873.
Yrs truly J.W. Lovering

Geo Penniman Esq Treasr Granite Railway Co.
Dear Sir,
I have been instructed to forward you a copy of a vote of the Trustees of Mount Auburn Cemetery, passed at a meeting of the Board . - which is as follows: -
"Voted that the Committee on Grounds be instructed by the Board to give notice to the contractors for the granite front of the new catacomb tombs in course of construction between Rosebay and Culvert Avenues, that this Corporation will not accept said granite front on account of imperfections in the stones, and for defective construction."
I am Resp.y yours, Austin J. Coolidge Secretary of Mount Aub. Cem.ly
33 School St. Boston,
Wm. B. Bacon Esq
Dear Sir,
It appears from a recent interment in Mr D.G. Bacon's lot in Mt Auburn, that your numbers upon the lot have not been made to correspond with those of your deeds, and as in the Catalogue of Proprietors. I have ascertained that the numbers have been cut upon the Stone; hence it is impracticable to attempt correction there.
The only course, therefore, left for you is to transfer your deed to your brother, & he the same to you. Unless you do this, some future interment will be the occasion of a mortifying blunder by opening a grave in the wrong lot.
I will attend to the matter for you at any time; but shall have to charge you for the record.
Yours truly
A.J. Coolidge Secretary.

it will cost you nothing for ^an additional plan. If you prefer a duplicate of the finished plan shown you last week, Mr Shedd informs me that the cost will not exceed $6. They will furnish you a tracing on prepared cloth not to exceed $3. --
I presume he could furnish you a copy for each of the lot owners at $2.50 each.
I am very respy Your Obt Sert
A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
P.S. I think it may be well to put the figures representing size of the monuments and their distances from side lines of the lots, which you notice on the sketch, on to the plan to be filed. --
Edward Austin & Otis Norcross Esqs Com. on Lots
Gentlemen,
Article 13 of the By-laws of this Corporation invests the Committee on Lots, among other duties, with "the general supervision" x x "of all questions of right -- between individual proprietors, or between proprietors and the Corporation." --
Messrs Stickney and Poor, who are the proprietors of lots 3118 & 3119 situated upon Rosebay Avenue, con-- taining 2000 square feet, a year or two since contracted with a granite man for a curb around their lots and last year employed the Superintendent to set the work up. -- After the work had been commenced, a difference of opinion arose between the Superintendent and

Dear Sir,
Mr Wm M. Lathrop called in this P.M. and says he thinks he gave you an order for both posting & grading lots 3363 & 3364, Acanthus P. rear of 1833 & 1856. He talked over the size of the posts, & thinks he signed his name to the order book. -- If he is in error, please inform me, and I will have him give the proper order. -- He would like to have the grading done this season, if not too late: at all events, set the posts.
As it will probably be a day or two before the surveyors get out to you, I think it will be well for you to set as many of the posts to the lots of delinquent proprietors as possible: -- and their survey would then be the more complete. I subjoin a list of ^all the earlier lots contained on the list shown you, remaining without bounds. --

Will you also, in compliance with the request of the Comee on Lots furnish me before next Monday, a list of all lots of which the bounds have been neg-- lected. The above will aid you somewhat, but I am not sure that it embraces all since 3000.
