Mount Auburn Cemetery

Capt. D. L. Winsor

Dear Sir,

Mr Austin states that "you have not been notified that lots 1676, 2151, 3324, 126, 417, + 801, are to be taken care of by the Corporation", and requests me to so inform the Treas^r-; but as the Treas is in Washington, I think it easier & safer to acquaint you directly. Lots 1676, 3324, 126 & 801 have the guaranty of perpetual repair; 2151 + 497 have not.

Mr. Austin further wishes me to "obtain from the Superintendent, a list of all lots that are in bad order, that the proprietors may be notified."

If you had any conversation with him about this, I presume you know whether he refers to all lots in the cemetery coming under [identical?] [?], or only those cared for by the Corporation, & subject to the inspection of the Committee on Lots. I don't know which he wishes, as I have not seen him. His request is in writing.

Mrs. Marion S. L. Churchill has just deposited with the Corporation $300 to be added to the Repair Fund, for the perpetual care of her lot no. 243, on Woodbine Path, the northwesterly side of Appleton Hill. Neither Mrs. C. nor I could tell what amount would be sufficient - but I think this will do whatshe wishes. She has for years been accumu-- lating this sum and now puts it into the hands of the Corporation as a safe place of deposit & accumulation, if more should be necessary. I will give you her idea, and you will please report about her lot. She has never had anything done to the lot - and wishes but little done - likes the pines there, but wishes a stump dug out - a
