Mount Auburn Cemetery

Mrs Prince, her neices. I learn that no children of Mr Davis (and I believe) no grandchildren survive -- but that his half has descended to certain nephews & neices -- one or both. However that may be, by the operation of his will, his lot belongs, one half to his heirs & one half to Mrs D's heirs, or rather devisees.

Mr Prince desires me to say to you that Mrs Davis' heirs are provided with a burial lot, and will relinquish all their intereset to the Davis heirs.

Upon your reply to this proposition of Mr Prince, and stating to me who the Davis heirs now are, their degree of relationship &c. -- I will send you one of our representative blanks, filled out so far as may be, for the signatures of the parties in interest.

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec. & Tr.

Dear Sir,

The few week since I wrote you inquiring about Mrs Eliza Smith's decease, but presume you have overlooked the note, as I have rec^d no reply.

The question is whether Mrs Eliza Smith prop^r of lot 132 Willow Av^e is dec^d, & if so, when she died? May 12, 1868 you signed an order for interm^t of F.S. Greenleaf in her lot in the words -- "H.H. Hunnewell Ex^or of Eliza Smith."

I find Eliza Smith (whom I suppose to be the mother of Mr Durant) was interred in lot 484 upon order signed by Henry F. Durant, Feby 20, 1868.

Unless she is the same as your testator, I do not find any record of the death & burial of the prop^r of lot 132.

Your ready reply will oblige.

Yours very Respy

A.J. Coolidge
