1882-04-25 Letter: Wm. J. Smith, President Scots Charitable Society to Supt., regarding care of lot, 2014.020.006-009

Subject: How much the Society would care to pay. [in pencil]

18 Exchange Place Boston Aprl 25 /82

To the Supt. Mt. Auburn Cemetery

Sir

A few days ago I looked at the lot of the Scots Charitable Society, my attention having been particularly called to it at this time from your letter in regard to the necessity of fixing the [tomb?]; and it seemed to me that the surface of the ground was in rather bad shape generally; and as if the grass had not been cut for a long time. I have by this mail sent a note to Mr Maitland in regard to this subject, and so can confer with him in regard to the whole matter. Or if I knew what afternoon I could see you I would come out. I don't know of course what the cost would be, or how much the Society

would care to spend, but would like to find out in regard to it.

Yours truly

Wm J Smith President
