Col. Henry Lee Jr --

Dear Sir,

Your note respecting the lot of the late Pierce Butler &c. is rec^d.

I enclose the usual form of transfer, which will be found in blank on the 3^d page of the deed of his lot (434) if said deed can be found.

If Mr Butler left a will, it should first appear from it who are the heirs to the lot. As lots in the Cemetery are declared by the Charter to be real estate, it would pass (if not specifically mentioned) either under a general clause or a residuary clause. A copy of so much as covers this ground attested by the Recorder, with the date of the instrument, and of registration, would be all that we should require to ascertain who are the heirs.

If he died intestate, then let the heirs in making conveyance to Mrs Kemble (if that course is desired) refer to the fact in the ^^blank transfer sent or the other if found.

In either case, they would use the blank transfer. If the claim under the will, they would use some such clause as this: "Know all men" &c "that we, _____ of ____ ____ of ____ &c ^^{[residuary heirs]} devisees under the will of P.B. late of " &c -- If no will, "that we, ___ ___ ___ being the children & only heirs at law of P.B. late of who died intestate," --
