Gardner Wheeler Esq

Dear Sir,

We are making a new lithographic map of the Cemetery & wish to know what is the division line between your lot 1889 & your brother's 2739 -- equal in contents -- if you have an ideal line between you.

You may get along well enough while you both live, but it will be better to show the line, then heirs will see how it was always understood.

Please see or inform me.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Gardner G. Hubbard Esq.

Dear Sir,

Some weeks since you promised to give your immediate attention to the matter of the Chaplain lot -- no. 3588 -- on Lantana Path in the Cemetery.

We shall have to ask your immediate attention to this. Indeed I cannot see that anything is to be decided, as the position of both lots is fixed.

You are very near Mt Auburn & can see the Sup^t any day in ten minutes.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
