Mr. Safford,

Dear Sir, your note of
yesterday has come to hand: & I send
the blanks requested. The order
for "Removal to the Cemetery" is of no
consequence, as it is difficult to keep the
distinction, so as to have all orders for rein--
terment made outlaw, and I shall not
print any more I send you is what remains
of them.

The correction of lots 883 & 885
on the plan shall be attended to.—

I would like to have you [race?] over
your entry books and see if your
figures for the year agree with mine.

Whole no. internments 698, of which 116 are
reinterments. (I generally consider the int. of soldiers brought
home within a month or so, a 1st int.) No. depos. in R. Tomb
53: no. in Pub. Lots 67.

Truly yours,
A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

H. C. Stephens Esq
Dear Sir,

The Corporation is ready
to receive the $400 stipulated for the
perpetual care of lot 1673 (Sarah Bax-
ter's
) in Mt Auburn: and I sup-
pose from what you said two
months or so ago, you are
ready to pay it.

I send you our form of donation
in trust ready for execution. When
you have paid over the amount
to Mr Bond, Treasr at 167 Con-
gress St., return the document with
your signature &c for completion &
record.

Yours truly

A. J. Coolidge
Secy
