Mount Auburn Cemetery

33 School St. Boston, Jany. 13/62

Mr S.S. Perkins,

Sir,

Sometime since, at your request, I took a bill which you owe the Corporation, to confer with the proper officers about a reduction of the charge, and soon after notified you that I was prepared to answer you: but you have taken no notice of my answer that I am aware of.-

If you were ready to settle the bill, as you professed to be, I trust you will make it manifest, as it is more than a year old, and must be paid.

Yours resp.y

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y Prop^r of Cemetery of Mount Auburn

Jos. B. Glover Esq Ex^or Est. Winthrop Ward

Dear Sir,

I perceive by the will of the late Mr Ward, that he directs the reconveyance of his lot in Mount Auburn Cemetery to our Coporation, with a limitation of the burial right, and that $300 be given to the Trustees to keep said lot in perpetual repair.

Shall I follow the usual course on all contracts with living persons, and bring the matter before the Committee on Lots who are charged with all contracts of this nature, and if they see no objection to accepting also trust the manner and for the amount indicated by Mr Ward, are you prepared to execute the needful papers?

Very Resp.y yours A.J. Coolidge Sec.y Prop^rs Cem. Mt. Au
