doubting from our personal experience with you and one's confidence
in your integrity of purpose, that you entertain the opinion that
they come within your prerogative. As early an answer as
convenient will oblige.

Premising[?] with calling your attention to the last paragraph of
article 3 of the by-laws of the Corporation, we will State that the Comt^e
are informed that you have receievd commissions from various^several
Granite & Marble Workers, upon the cost of work which has been done
for sundry proprietors of Mt Auburn, in the Cemetery, and that you
received last year (1868) above $900 as Commissions from one party,
on Granite alone, and a still further sum has been received by you,
or is still due, as commissions on Marble work. It has also
been represented to the Committee, that it is your custom to exact a
commission on all work done & materials furnished by Granite & Marble
Workers to proprietors, for their lots in the Cemetery, whether the order for such
work or materials was transmitted through you or otherwise

[Very Resctfully?} Yours
Otis Norcross
