Mr W^m H. Phillips, Undertaker
Newton Corner,

Sir,

I wrote you on the 31^st
of July last, asking you to send me
the order properly filled out for an interment
which you made on the 11^th of May last
in lot no 698 (Snow's tomb): and you
have been requested by the officers at Mt Auburn
to do the same. I have never rec^d any reply
from you on the subject: although I learned
from our Gatekeeper a few days ago that you
told him in reply to his last inquiry for this paper,
that you had sent it to me. -

Not doubting that it is in your power to
comply, I have only to say now, that unless I
receive this paper from you before the next meeting
of our Trustees on Monday next, I shall lay
the matter before the Board for such action as
they may think proper. --

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

H.A. Snow Esq, Representative of Lot 698
in the Cemetery of Mt Auburn

Dear Sir,

I have just written a note to
W^m. H. Phillips of Newton Corner, an
undertaker, who has never returned to me
any information of the unknown (to us) child
deposited by him in your tomb on the 11^th of
May last - for record - stating that if
I do not receive the proper order from you
with the necessary information before the
meeting of the Trustees on Monday next,
I shall lay the matter before the Board
for such action as they shall think
proper. -

I have heard that he says that he has
sent it to me -- but it has never been received.

Yours respy.

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y Mt Auburn Cem.y
