G. Howland Shaw on Mt Auburn Imprisonment after sunset - Aug. 27, 1855

Brookline, August 27^th/55

My dear sir,

I desire to call your attention to a matter which I know is of interest to you - Being at Mount Auburn last evening, I staid rather later than usual, and found myself locked in - I thereby learned that after sunset, there in no one (not even a common labourer) left upon the grounds in charge of the many interests that centre there -

Perhaps the Directors are aware of this fact, although I think that can hardly be they are - but it was with a good deal of sacrifice, I may say, pain, that I discovered it, and I find that with the few to whom I have mentioned

it, the impression is the same - I have therefore thus taken the liberty of bringing the subject to your notice, knowing that if action be neccesary, you would gladly see to it -

I ought to add that my own Imprisonment was not a very long or inconvenient one, and by going to a house in the vicinity, I found means to release my horse & wagon? -

Believe me, my dear Sir, Very truly & Respy Yours, Gardiner Howland Shaw

Doctor Bigelow [?]
