Henry Emerson Esq

Dear Sir,

When you last called
at my office about the bill
due to Mt Auburn, you said
you would see Mr. Mann the
Sup^t, and attend to it. This was
some months since. I have
asked the Sup^t several times if
you had seen him, and he
said , no; and that he did not
consider that he had anything
to do about bill placed in
my hands for collection.

I must consequently again
call your attention to this unset-
tled account, and request
that you neglect it no longer.

Respectfully yours,

A. J. Coolidge
Secretary of
Mt Auburn

33 School St. Boston Oct 31, 1860

Mr John P. Ordway,

Your note of Oct 5 is before
me—in which you say—this "I shall
be absent for about a week
longer, after which time will see
you."

Twenty Eight days or four weeks
have elapsed without your fulfilling
this promise—like many that have
gone before it. Now this may
all be innocent enough on your
part, but I have come to the
opinion that it is mere imposition,
and unworthy of both of us. You
have, at various times, intimated
that you were ready to arrange
a place for gradual payment;
and this you have totally neglected.

I shall bring the matter to the
attention of the Trustees next Monday,
and let them say what they think
should be done.

Yours A. J. Coolidge
