Rev.^d Leonard Luce, Town Clerk
Westford, Mass.

Dear Sir,

I am referred to you
for information respecting John Adams,
who stands on the records of our Corpor-
ation as the proprietor of lot no. 427,
on Myrtle Path in the Cemetery. He disap-
peared from the Boston Directory in
1844 and I am informed by Mr
Paul Adams that he removed to
Westford & has since died. As
his name does not appear on our
interment records, I can only infer
that his remains were not brought
to Mt Auburn.

Will you please give me
the facts in the case --

1^st Was Westford his residence,
and is it still the residence
of his family?

If he is dead, when did
he die? And where was he
buried?

Who are his family remaining?
I should not feel at liberty
to trouble you, but Mr
Adams said you married
into the same family, and
would cheerfully give
me the information.

An early reply will
much oblige.

Yours Respectfully

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y
