Edward Coffin Esq 27 Nassau St. New York.

Dear Sir,

I have been so severely pressed for time as to be unable to earlier attend to your request of Feby [1?] and I cannot now send you all I would like. Our catalogue & by laws are out of print -- have not a single copy, but are preparing one for printing within two or three months.

I send you some of our forms which may be useful also the reports for last four years.

The Sup^t's Report of Sales has to be approved by Com. on Lots before deeds are issued. I send form of deed -- form of contract for Perpetual Repair of lot, with guaranty -- form of application of heirs or devisees of deceased prop^r for designation of one of their number to represent lot -- (see Sec. 8. at bottom of form) the notice which usually accompanies it -- form of orders for work -- form of permits for work -- and the application for the same -- forms of order of interment in ^^private lot -- in public lot -- deposit in Receiving Tomb -- & for removals in or from the Cemetery. The record of interments is left ^^{made up} in duplicate & our copy kept at Secretary's office & one at Cemetery. I send also cards of admission issued to different persons -- the rule respecting work on Lots -- and the report made by the Sup^t on the condition of a lot which the proprietor wishes to endow.

I could give much more valuable information upon a personal interview.

Very truly A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
