Copying Book: Secretary's Letters, 1860 (page 459)

Mrs Prince, her neices. I learn
that no children of Mr Davis (and I believe)
no grandchildren survive -- but that his
half has descended to certain nephews &
neices -- one or both. However that may
be, by the operation of his will, his lot
belongs, one half to his heirs & one
half to Mrs D's heirs, or rather devisees.

Mr Prince desires me to say to you
that Mrs Davis' heirs are provided
with a burial lot, and will relin-
quish all their intereset to the Davis
heirs.

Upon your reply to this proposition of
Mr Prince, and stating to me who
the Davis heirs now are, their degree
of relationship &c. -- I will send you one
of our representative blanks, filled
out so far as may be, for the signatures
of the parties in interest.

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec. & Tr.

Dear Sir,

The few week since
I wrote you inquiring about Mrs Eliza
Smith's decease, but presume you have over-
looked the note, as I have rec^d no reply.

The question is whether Mrs Eliza
Smith prop^r of lot 132 Willow Av^e is dec^d, &
if so, when she died? May 12, 1868 you signed
an order for interm^t of F.S. Greenleaf in her lot
in the words -- "H.H. Hunnewell Ex^or of Eliza Smith."

I find Eliza Smith (whom I sup-
pose to be the mother of Mr Durant) was
interred in lot 484 upon order signed by
Henry F. Durant, Feby 20, 1868.

Unless she is the same as your testa-
tor, I do not find any record of the
death & burial of the prop^r of lot 132.

Your ready reply will oblige.

Yours very Respy

A.J. Coolidge
