Dear Sir,

What progress,
if any, do you make in
the matter of lots numbered
1349,
1350, &c. on Oxalis Path,
in the Cemetery. When we last
met, (it being also the first time)
I believe you proposed to go
forward, & ascertain and adjust
the difficulty - not doubting that
such a result could be attained.
I shall be happy to learn
of that result.

Yours very resp.y

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

Dear Sir,

In , you reported the
condition of lot 497, Willow Ave, belonging to the
estate of the late Israel Lombard, with a view to the
acceptance of a bequest in his will. As the lot
has undergone extensive repairs since then, will
you please report on it again, as the parties
now wish to finish the arrangement.

Please also report upon lot of late Benj.
Fiske
, no 203, Central Ave - and return
to me this week, as they have a family meeting
next week, and wish to place our proposition
before the heirs.

Will you have the enclosed memo.
handed to Edward Safford?

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge

Capt. D.L. Winsor
Supt Mt Auburn

beginning in Dec 1863 the secretary has been referring to the year as "3" or "4". Should this be transcribed as 1863 & 1864 because we know it to be the case?

Thanks so much for your help transcribing. Great question - Record the "3" or "4" exactly as written then add a space and put the complete date in brackets so it reads like: 3 [1863]. Thanks.
