Capt. S. Benton Thompson

Dear Sir,

I have long intended to send you the enclosed statement of amt due from you for land added to your lot no. 2026 in the Cemetery - the same being $62.50 for 125 ft of land.

The Supt not fully understanding who the parties were at the time made out two certificates for Dr Peter Renton, one on your lot & one on the westerly lot of the range. Hence the alteration in the one sent you. Dr Renton long ago paid for his land the same price, and his burial in it.

The reason why you have not received this has been partly because it was mislaid. It was arranged on the interview which you and I had that this addition you would pay for.

I will thank you to remit $64.50 to the Treasurer with the certif. sent, & I will see that you have a deed of the addition. I am about issuing from press a new catalogue, & I wish to have this matter included among the corrected matters.

You will see that we have charged only the old price of land. The land on both sides of you is worth more than double that - but I do not propose to make you pay for the accidental delay, if paid now.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
