Dear Sir

I send you certificates for the lots which you can exchange for the deeds. By our by-laws a passage way must be left between every two lots except by consent of trustees, which I have no doubt they will give.

I expect the brick graves will be ready for removals by next week, and as soon as they are made I will complete the lot as far as season? will allow.

Yours truly J.W. Lovering

Boston, October 11^t, 1871

The Committee on Finance take this occasion to bring to the attention of the Board the financial condition of the corporation.

It is well known that to complete the improvements commenced by our predecessors, and carry forward those voted by this Board, the purchase of the "Watriss Lot," and the fencing the same, have made quite an inroad into the savings of previous years which had been invested.
