1852-12-07 Letter: Superintendent Rufus Howe to Henry M. Parker, 1831.018.001-007

Mount Auburn Dec 7^th 1852-

Henry M. Parker Esq.

Dear Sir, I find on examination of the ground plan of the Cemetery that no 758 has been use twice. Will the trustees authorise the surveyor to erase one, and substitute another, approved by the Committee on lots, to be in unison with the deeds?

John H. Munroe, and Andrew Stewart, two men, who have been in the employ of the corporation for the last four years, have each selected a remnant lot of one hundred and ten, or twenty square feet each, they have both buried children, they are anxious to obtain these lots, exempt from the choice money and pay for them in labor.

Will the trustees allow them to do so?

Very truly yours Rufus Howe Sup^t

Rufus Howe. Dec. 7. 1852
