Dear Sir,

Mr Philip Marett is
anxious to have the "lot" in Mt Auburn
belonging to him taken charge of by the Corporation
for perpetual repair. The Committee on Lots have
replied that the Corporation will assume the guar-
anty for $350 for his lot alone, or if taken with
yours, they will take them for $300 each. -- Where
two lots are in one enclosure, as in this case,
the Trustees prefer not to take one alone. --

If you will entertain the idea of giving
this amount for your lot now, please
inform me. It certainly will remove
all uncertainty about it but if the matter
is left to be provided for in one's will, it
is quite generally overlooked & forgotten, and
few persons find sufficient motion for doing
what the prop^r neglected. -- Your early reply
will oblige.

Yours Resp.y

A.J. Coolidge
