Nathan Blanchard Esq^r
Ex^or Estate of Benj. Fiske,

Dear Sir,

At the request of Mr
B. Fiske, I have caused a report to
be made upon lot no 203 in our
Cemetery belonging to the late Mr Fiske's
estate, and have obtained the estimate
of the Com^ee on Lots for what sum the Corpor-
ation will guarantee the perpetual repair
of said lot, - which is $500. -

You will understand, of course, this does
not prevent the heirs from paying [to?]
the amt. named in the will, without
requiring the guaranty, if they prefer to
take that course. In the one case the re-
pair fund alone is held responsible; in the other
the whole property of the Corporation, if the particular
fund fails.

Very respy,

A.J. Coolidge, Sec.y
