Benj. Lombard Esq

Dear Sir,

Yours of 28^th ult. was rec^d.
I enclose you the deed of your lot.
We have a receipt book for deeds,
but, your acknowledgement of its reception
on a single line can be attached
to it.

The papers ^^{(receipt of bills)} loaned this Corporation by indi-
vidual proprietors were all returned in August
1864, and I have no doubt I dealt with yours
as with the rest, for I knew your address: but
I cannot, this moment lay my hand upon the
list which I was careful to preserve of those to
whom sent, with dates.

I am not aware whether any bill
against you for last year is in the hands
of the Treas^r -- but I will send this to him,
& request him to forward the bill with it, if
there is one.

Respy yours

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y

There is $1.00 due to the Treas^r for the deed

Erasmus M. Dean Esq
Hartford Conn.

Dear Sir,

Mrs Sophie Mumford
left in a codicil to her will a writing which
in its true & legal effect appears to make you
the residuary devisee of her lot in the Cemetery,
no. 126. We do not however change the
title, except at the request of the person
laying such claim: and it is the rule with
the Corporation, after making a record of
the devise, to annex a certificate thereof
to the ^^original deed. If Mr Drake has even
sent that paper to you, if you will
forward it, with $2, the fee for record,
& certifying, and entry of name, I will return
the paper to you completed. I have seen
the original will here, and shall not
need a copy.

Your early reply will be in time
[to?] enter your name on the new catalogue about
[indecipherable].

Resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge
