Mr Robinson

Dear Sir,

It appears from
our records of interments that Har-
riet Woods was interred in Grave
no. 383 St John Lot, July 14, 1858.

It further appears from our books
that on the same day Grave nos.
383 and 384 were purchased of
the Corporation and paid for, the
receipt for which has not been
found: and the books state that
384 was purchased for future
use.

I understand from Miss A.
Emily Woods, who paid for the graves,
the sister of Harriet, and the bearer
of this note, that you examined
the record of the St John Lot when
she was out on Thursday last
and did not find any record
of an interment in lot 384.

I wish you to make sure of this,
if you have not, by examining
the interments there since July
14, 1858.

If you find it, note the
name and date of deceased of ^^& the
place where from, and the
undertaker, if given. If you
do not find it, please
proceed this afternoon, to
the grave 384, open it and
ascertain if there is a body there --
if so, what name and date
&c. on [plate?]: and close it
up again for the time being as
you find it, and report the
facts to me.

Yours respy

A.J. Coolidge
Sec.y
