Dear Sir,

A litte information is needed respecting interments for June & July.

June 5. Was Lucy G. Coolidge int^d in Lot 154 or R. T.? The papers do not agree.

What was the int. of St. B. child on June 26^th - "no return rec^d." There you had no right to make the interment. I said to have been int^d in lot "3346" which would be ^^of Benj. Putnam of Somerville.

In what lot was Sarah Frances Harvey int^d 19^th July. No number appears either on face or back of permits.

Messrs Austin, Norcross & Bowditch Com. on Lots --

Gentlemen,

I enclose a note from Capt. Winsor, a paragraph of which relates to the vase to be added to mon.^t on the Vose lot. The headstone beside this is not likely to cost more than $100 -- perhaps not more than $75. --

Mr Murdock appears to feel strongly that $1100 will be ample to secure the Corporation against all contingencies, including the proposed additions. The lot has been put in first rate order and he feels that there will be little to do besides cutting the grass, & resodding.

I do not believe he will submit to an addition. I should think it probable that there will an accumulation of $200 or 500 within ten years.

Very Respy.

Benj. Pitman Esq Somerville Mass.,

Dear Sir,

Our undertaker at the Cemetery returned me among the interments for last June, one of a still-born child buried in your lot no. 3346 on the 26^th of June: but no other fact was given. I wish the name of child (if any was given) name of parents, date ^^{& place} of birth & place of residence of parents.

The undertaker or whoever made the interment was remiss in duty. I am now making up the record & index for the year, and wish you would send me the facts at once on the enclosed blank.

Resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge
