Dear Sir

I had promised to send you the Amt (18⁰⁰) for space in Receiving Vault in the case of Angela K. Moor before the expiration of the 6 mos (the 28th) fully expected to do but have been sick for ten days and unable to do so I am sure if you fully understood the circumstances you would have no alarm as my friends in Boston would attend to the matter in case of emergency. I must ask your indulgence for a week or ten days when the amt will surely reach you. Yours &c J.M. Moore

Supt. Cemetery of Mt. Auburn Boston. Mass.

Dear Sir:

Would you kindly inform me in what manner you sell your lots? We are at present and have been selling for 25¢ per suare foot and give at that choice of location; but we find we must rate our lots in future; knowing your institution to be one established for a good many years & worthy to be followed, I take the liberty to ask for this information. Do you consider it well to hold especially finely located lots or parcels at fixed prices regardless of the number of square feet?

Hoping you will find time to answer and thanking you for your trouble

I am [Sri?]:

Yours respectfully Frank Eurich Supt.

Wellesley Hills. July 15^th^, 1882

Supt. Lovering

Dear Sir,

I heard yesterday that my lot at Mt Auburn had had nothing done to it this summer. The usual order was mailed to you in March last, properly signed. You will please see that it is fixed at once. Sickness prevented me from seeing to it myself as usual this spring, but after you had cared for it ten years, if by any accident you did not receive the

order, I should have supposed you would have thought there was some mistake, and notified ^me^ of the now arrival of the order.

Please see to it as soon as you receive this, as I do not wish it to lie untouched another day. Please notify me when it has been done.

Address P.O. Box 46 Wellesley Hills Mass.

Yours in haste,

Laura P. Doe.
