Dear Sir,

Please report Saturday on lot of Jesse Holbrook no [2697] Central Av. - almost opposite the Bowditch statue. He says his angel cost only [$10?] at auction, but the marble men would make it for less than $1000 perhaps more.

Will you let Fred. look [after?] these points for me.

See if there is any headstone or [mor?] lot of Jos. H. Thayer, 221 Willow Av. gives date & place of ^^his death, if so what is [?]

Look at precisely same questions on Lot 503 Willow Ave. -- Thomas [Haven]

The same question too on lot 798 Elm Av -- Shepherd H. Norris?

All these were proprietors, and said to have died, but the records do [not?] show their death.

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge

I believe you have not yet paid the $300 bequeathed to our Corporation by the late Harriet N. Whitney for the repair of the lot belonging to her & yourself -- no 2144.

The Corporation is ready to receive said sum and apply it to the purpose indicated.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
