Edward Austin Esq^r

Dear Sir,

The following is a copy of
record of doings at the meeting of the Trus-
tees on Monday last:

The President submitted a model of a
public monument in memory of the heroes
who have fallen in the present war for the preser-
vation of the Union, which he proposed should
be erected in the Cemetery, to be paid for either
out of the surplus funds of the Corporation,
or by obtaining subscriptions for the same,
as the Trustees may determine. --

Upon motion by Mr Bowditch,
Voted that the subject of this or of any
monument for the purpose be referred to
a Committee of three, to report upon at
the next meeting: and

Messrs Austin, Norcross and Rand were
so chosen.

Very Resp.y

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
