My dear Sir,

Your draft for
three hundred & fifty dollars
payable to the order of our Treas, together
with the instrument of donation was rec^d
this morning, & handed in at the Gate
office. The Treas^r is expected back
within a week, when the funds can be
made available. It being vacation
month, & members of our Com^ee being
away, I may be unable to return
your document executed within
three or four weeks but will do so
as soon as possible.

Very respy
Your Ob^t Serv^t

A. J. Coolidge
Sec.y

Philip Marett Esq.

Sept^r 7, [186]5

Capt. D. L. Winsor

Dear Sir,

Mr Philip
Marett, prop^r of lot 794 Willow Av.
has paid the $350 required on his lot,
but I find that, through inadvertence, I said
nothing to him about repairs antecedent
to the contract: and he will no doubt
think he has paid enough.

Will you be so kind as to examine
& inform me what these necessary re-
pairs will cost, at the lowest estimate.

There appears to be a disposition with
some of the Com^ee, if they will not cost too
much, to not ^^to open the matter to him again.

As he has only two headstones, I am inclined
to think we can get along well enough with
it.

Truly yours

A. J. Coolidge
