Mrs Jesse Knopp
249 Hanover St.

D^r - Madam,

Please inform me
if your husband is deceased. If so,
when he died, & where he was interred: as
I do not find his interment anywhere on
our records, although he was proprie-
tor of lot no. 298 Larch Ave. I see
your name instead of his has been
in the Directory since 1863.

If he is living, please state
where he resides.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

P.S. I am making up for press a new
catalogue of lots & proprietors.

Nov. 22 [186]5

Mrs John Southwick,

Dear Madam,

Mr John South-
wick (whom I suppose to have been your
husband) purchased a lot in the Cem-
etery in 1840. I see that the Charles-
town Directory ^^{for 1860} puts down Mrs John
Southwick of [?] Winthrop St. & a John
Southwick (whom I have supposed might be
your son) of the U.S.N. as boarding at 2 Sex-
[?] St.

We have no record of the death or
interment of the proprietor of this lot.

We are making a new catalogue, &
if you can give me the requisite
information you will oblige.

Yours Respectfully

A.J. Coolidge Secretary
