John T. Bradlee Esqre
Pres. Mnt Auburn Cemetery
Dear Sir.
As winter is approaching
and I do not often leave my
house, I am anxious that my
few remaining concerns with
the Proprietors of Mnt. Auburn
Cemetery should be duly settled-.
I have desired the Secretary
to draw a release to the Proprietors
of Mnt Auburn of all my right
and interest. in the Sphinx
Monument at that place, of which
I may still claim to be proprietor,
never having yet signed or
executed any transfer.
If I recollect matters rightly,
the Trustees referred the business
[in pencil]
octo. 28.
J. Bigelow

I placed [?] it first line as I couldn't read the word. The other issue is the entry was on the very right side of the note. I wasn't sure if that is where you place the three === for the header, or the main purpose to the note. Could you clarify for me. I will send an email to Meg too.
@bradymann you only need to use the three = symbols for margin titles in a Trustee Minutes volume. Since this is a letter, you can distinguish the different directional writings by adding three "return"s in between them. Thanks so much for your transcribing!
