Dear Sir,

I have been so severely pressed for time
as to be unable to earlier attend to your request of Feby [1?]
and I cannot now send you all I would like. Our catalogue
& by laws are out of print -- have not a single copy, but
are preparing one for printing within two or three months.

I send you some of our forms which may be useful
also the reports for last four years.

The Sup^t's Report of Sales has to be approved by Com. on Lots before
deeds are issued. I send form of deed -- form of contract for Per-
petual Repair of lot, with guaranty -- form of application of heirs or
devisees of deceased prop^r for designation of one of their number to rep-
resent lot -- (see Sec. 8. at bottom of form) the notice which usually accom-
panies it -- form of orders for work -- form of permits for work --
and the application for the same -- forms of order of interment in ^^private lot --
in public lot -- deposit in Receiving Tomb -- & for removals in or from
the Cemetery. The record of interments is left ^^{made up} in duplicate & our
copy kept at Secretary's office & one at Cemetery. I send also
cards of admission issued to different persons -- the
rule respecting work on Lots -- and the report made by the Sup^t
on the condition of a lot which the proprietor wishes to
endow.

I could give much more valuable information upon
a personal interview.

Very truly
A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
