Rev.d Leonard Luce, Town Clerk Westford, Mass.
Dear Sir,
I am referred to you for information respecting John Adams, who stands on the records of our Corporation as the proprietor of lot no. 427, on Myrtle Path in the Cemetery. He disappeared from the Boston Directory in 1844 and I am informed by Mr Paul Adams that he removed to Westford & has since died. As his name does not appear on our interment records, I can only infer that his remains were not brought to Mt Auburn.
Will you please give me the facts in the case --
1st Was Westford his residence, and is it still the residence of his family?
If he is dead, when did he die? And where was he buried?
Who are his family remaining? I should not feel at liberty to trouble you, but Mr Adams said you married into the same family, and would cheerfully give me the information.
An early reply will much oblige.
Yours Respectfully
A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
