Mr S.S. Perkins,

Sir,

Sometime since, at
your request, I took a bill which
you owe the Corporation, to confer
with the proper officers about a
reduction of the charge, and soon
after notified you that I was
prepared to answer you: but
you have taken no notice of my
answer that I am aware of.-

If you were ready to settle the
bill, as you professed to be, I
trust you will make it manifest,
as it is more than a year
old, and must be paid.

Yours resp.y

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y Prop^r of
Cemetery of Mount Auburn

Jos. B. Glover Esq
Ex^or Est. Winthrop Ward

Dear Sir,

I perceive by the will
of the late Mr Ward, that he directs
the reconveyance of his lot in Mount
Auburn Cemetery to our Coporation,
with a limitation of the burial right,
and that $300 be given to the Trustees
to keep said lot in perpetual repair.

Shall I follow the usual course on
all contracts with living persons, and
bring the matter before the Committee on
Lots who are charged with all con-
tracts of this nature, and if they see
no objection to accepting also trust
the manner and for the amount indica-
ted by Mr Ward, are you pre-
pared to execute the needful
papers?

Very Resp.y yours
A.J. Coolidge
