Copying Book: Secretary's Letters, 1860 (page 080)

33 School St. Boston May 30, 1863

Rev^d A. St. John Chambre
Newark N.J.

Dear Sir,

The order of 10^th April
1863 for interment of a child in Mt Auburn,
signed by you, gives me the means &
for the first time of writing you to correct
^^{the record of} an interment of child made May 28, 1860 in same lot. As the record
was deficient in two particulars, and
as the child's body appears to have come
from Newark N.J. I have concluded
it ^^too must have been your child, to
a sufficient extent to ask these two
questions - 1^st if it was your child, and
the name (if any): 2^d the date of its still-
birth. I believe it is the only deficiency
in our record for that year, and I did
not have your address, or I should have
corrected it.

Your early reply will oblige.

Yours resp.y

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
of Mt Auburn

33 School St Boston,

J. Drake Esq.^r Executor of late
Sophia Mumford

Dear Sir,

Your request has been
attended to, and I am
instructed by the Committee on Lots
to notify you that this Corpor-
ation will contract to keep
said lot (no. 126, Willow Av^e)
in perpetual repair for the
sum of $300 three hundred
dollars, provided it is first
put in complete order.

Very resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge
Secretary
