C. U. Cotting Esq.

Dear Sir,

I have conferred with
the Committee on Lots of our Cemetery,
upon the question proposed by you -
whether they would allow Mrs Willard
to take charge of her lot ^^{no. 801}, during her lifetime,
and would place to her credit a certain
proportion of the income of the fund of
three hundred and fifty ($350) dollars
to meet any bills which she may authorize
for such care: ~

And I am authorized to say that they
will assent to this arrangement, and
will place five per centum of such
principal to her credit for such care.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y of Mt Auburn

Madam,

I wrote you some
weeks since asking you if you
had decided whether to take your
lot in the rectangular form, in
which it was first reported, ie,
15 ft by 20 ft or whether to extend
one side of it back according to
the land there is there, as recom-
mended you by the Superintendents
and have received no reply
from you.-

It is important that I should
be informed, until which time
I can make you no deed.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge
Secretary of Mt Auburn

Please send your reply to me..
