33 School St - Boston Jany 5 [186]4

W^m H Bordman Esq

Dear Sir,

I find that the several deeds of lots 2158, 2159 & 2160 in Mt Auburn to yourself, Mr Bates & Mr Rice were dated Dec^r 10, 1856, - more than two years after the death of Mr Rice. Mr Henry G. Pine of Baltimore, the son, is evidently the proprietor of lot 2160. Before examining dates, I had supposed the father was the proprietor.

I find that the deeds have been delivered by the Treas^r, as they are erased from a list of deeds remaining in his hands. If you do not find them among your papers, I will ascertain who receipted for them.

I enclose our usual blank form for the representation of the Bates Lot. If his Bates' lot goes to more than one heir, this is the proper form. You will know from the will, if he left one. -

If you find the facts about decease of Arthur H Otis, please return the paper to me. --

Very resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Henry Baldwin Esq

Dear Sir,

I wish to complete the deeds of the three lots in Mt Auburn to be carved out of no. 2326 -- to your father, Mr Hollis, & Mr Fuller. Presuming that they would prefer consecutive numbers, I propose to give the numbers 3034, 3035 & 3036. If there is any objection to this by reason of cutting the old number on the granite, or for any other cases, please inform me at once.

I think probably this has not been done, as I suggested that we should have to give you new numbers.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge

C.P. Curtis Esq^r

Dear Sir,

The executors of Israel Lombard decline, as I am informed by Gov^r Washburn, the proposition of the Com^ee on Lots— to guaranty the perpetual care of lot No. 497 for the sum of $500. for want of funds at their con-- trol for the purpose—

And they wish to know if the Corporation will accept the bequest of $300. upon the terms named in the will.

I send you a copy of this clause.

Respectfully A.J. Collidge Sec^y
