To the Committee on Interments

Gentlemen,

Lewis Jones, an undertaker
of this City, has repeatedly violated the 16^th Art.
of the By-laws requiring proper orders for interment from
the proprietor, and burial permits from the city or town to
be furnished prior to the interment. He has been cau-
tioned and remonstrated with, and has more than once
spoken in disrespectful terms of the requirement.

On the 8^th of August last he made an interment
in the lot of Thos. Lamb (591) without any order
furnished - without name of person interred or
any of the facts. He has been repeatedly asked
to make the proper return, and has promised to do so,
but has failed: & a blank line stands on the Register
therefore. Last week he was notified that unless he
should make this return within that week, the Secretary
would represent the facts for such action as a vote of
the Board ^^{of Trustees} had authorized.

Respectfully,

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Dear Sir,

I am fearful
that the fact you wished me
to prepare affidavits of title
in the case of lots 1849 & 1850 has
escaped your recollection - but such
is the fact, and the papers have
been ready for some time. If
you will please call and
make oath to those, and decide
what next, our work will be
short.

Very truly yours

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y

Dr Peter Renton
