Subject: Funds not sufficient- Donation

Lot No. 1

Mt. Auburn Cemetry,

Dear Sir, Yr's of 5^th inst was
rec^d. in which you say the funds left for
the Care of Lot N^o. 1 have not proved Sufficient
to Keep the lot in good order. In this I
feel that you are mistaken as ^$200 was
left about 1850, the interest to be expended for

been spent except for cutting the grass,
as I have always paid for the flowers on my
wife's grave.

the adjoining lot of Abraham Fuller, and
it will be necessary for me to communicate
with the heirs of that lot ^ after ^^which I will en-
deavor to call upon you at the
