John Dooley Esq
172 Water St New York

Dear Sir,

I notice that lot
numbered 1789 situated upon Sorrel
Path in our Cemetery appears to be
unoccupied, and a gentleman who
wishes to purchase a lot in the
Cemetery would perhaps take
a fancy to this lot if you should
wish to part with it. I cannot,
of course, presume, from the fact
of your removal to New York,
that such is the case; but as
lots are so often transferred on
account of the removal of the pro-
prietor, I knew you would not
take it amiss, should I inquire
if you desire to dispose of it.

If you should, please name
the price, and I will confer
further with you about it, if
your price is satisfactory.

Very Respy. Yours

A.J. Coolidge

Capt. D.L. Winsor, Sup^t

Dear Sir,

The Proprietor of lot no.
1170, on Ivy Path, accepts the contract
offered by the Com^ee on Lots to keep
the lot in perpetual repair for $300.
"after it has been put in repair sat-
isfactory to the Superintendent."

In your report you say - "The lot is
all moss! requires grading, and fence
wants some slight repairs, and also painting -
will cost $25. to put it in good order."

Will you then have what is
requisite done as soon as possible.
Make and send the bill to me, which
will be notice when we can com-
plete the contract. Make bill to
Mrs. Sarah Skinner.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y Mt. A.
