Mount Auburn Cemetery

Nov. 20 [186]5

Chas. R. Lowell Esq

Dear Sir,

We are finishing up a new lithographic plan of the Cemetery on a large scale, and, in order to represent lot nos. 323 & 1443 thereon, shall be compelled to put in the granite boundary posts at the expense of the parties interested: and I have requested the Superintendent to have this done.

As I understood you were contemplating some further permanent improvement, I had hoped you would have been in season to save this trouble. However the expense will not be material, and you will be allowed the value of the posts to the Corporation when you are ready to erect a fence.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
