33 School St. Boston Jany. 5. 1864

Rev. D.R. Cady, W. Cambridge,

Dear Sir,

Will you please write
out on the enclosed order of interment
which I return you for correction,
the legal name of "Allie S. Cady",
which is the only one we should use upon
record. We wish to rob no one of
the household name, but you will cer-
tainly perceive that great inconvenience
often ensues in giving it in for record.

To illustrate - a citizen of your town lately
sent in the name of "Georgie" for record:
and not until the orthography had been
corrected, ^^{to "Georgia"} could we know whether the de-
ceased was a male or female. -

Please also fill the blank
for the age, and return the paper
to me.

Respy yours

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

Dear Sir

I am anxious
to price you a deed of your lot
in the Cemetery - no 3260 - I
have caused the surveyors to
sketch it & to go in the new
laying out. Will you please
call and see the plan - and
that it is satisfactory.

Truly yours

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