Dr John Bacon

Dear Sir,

In reference to your
inquiry for what sum the Trustees
of the Cemetery of Mount Auburn
would assume the perpetual
care of your lot numbered 2354,-
the Committee on Lots have
instructed me to inform you, that
they have had the same under
consideration, and will contract
with you for three hundred
dollars. -

Very respectfully & truly yours
A.J. Coolidge
Secretary.

C. P. Curtis Esq.
Chairman Com^ee on Lots,

Dear Sir,

The reply of the Com^ee
on Lots to the inquiry for what
sum the Trustees will assume the
perpetual care of the Pelham W. Warren
lot (no. 1030), also Mr Mann's note
advising that it be first put in
order by grading and sodding at
an expense of $20, has been received.
This would require $200 in addition
to the $100 already devoted to the lot.-

If you can find means to bring the
condition of the lot and these facts to
the attention of the Hon. Chas. H. Warren,
as I the other day suggested in conver-
sation with you, perhaps something
may be done. Mr W^m W. Goodwin of
Harv. Coll. assured me that any funds
from which to increase this appropriation
were entirely wanting.

Very respectfully yours
A.J. Coolidge
