Mount Auburn Cemetery

will endeavor to execute them. I am aware that the lot is smaller but small lots as well as large, reflect the care which they receive.

An interment of a child of Rev E.A. Eaton was lately made in your lot, the order for which we did not get until afterwards, I think, and thus not signed by you. If you affirm that order it is all right.

Respectfully yours

Dear Sir,

Your neighbor, Jona. Mann, holds a certificate dated June 2, 1864, for a lot in the Cemetery, to contain 300 square feet, which has never been located. I have just written him that none but the old certificate of twenty or twenty five years ago contain the right of selection, & of course his is cut off. He is obliged to take such land as was then selling at the price paid by him -- 50 cts per foot.

There may be other such certificates outstanding -- but I am not aware of them.

I write simply to say, that if this question is presented to you, that through him or any one else, they have no right of selection unless so expressed in the certificate.

Respectfully,

A.J. Coolidge
