Probable number of
Interments in Public Lots
May 11, 1858

Dr J. Bigelow

39 Court St May 11/[18]58

Dear Sir

I find that the number
of interments in the public lots
has never been reported by the
Sup^t distinct from the whole
number of interments, except
for the years 1838, 1856, 1857 --

In 1838 there were 14 --

" [In] 1856 " [there] " [were] 57

" [In] 1857 " [there] " [were] 52 --

But I think they may be
safely estimated from the aggregate
receipts of sales in public lot up
to 1858, which I find from
Treasurer's Report is ^$5,226. --
which number divided by ^$10, the
price until the last year gives
522 which must be
nearly correct. --

Very Resp^y

A.J. Coolidge
