Dear Sir, Please send or leave word at my office, "by return of Mail," the name of the parents of a stillborn child interred in your lot no. 2911, in Mt Auburn, April 13, 1860.

We are making up the register of internments for the year, with the index, and the order for interment, signed by yourself, does not give this information, which is necessary to complete the record. My attention was called to it when making up the register for that month, but it had since escaped my recollection. There need be no feeling of delicacy in giving us information for the official record of facts.

Your reply as soon as convenient after getting this will oblige.

Yours truly A.J. Coolidge Secretary of Mt Auburn

Dear Sir, Will you please ascertain for me, if you do not know of your own knowledge, the name of the father or mother of a stillborn child which you buried at Mt Auburn on the 7^th day of April 1860, in the lot of Betsey Davis, No 183 on Larch Avenue. This name is not given in the order for interment, which is signed by C. Houghton. I should think, although it is hard to make it out. The order for interment should always give the ^^{name of the} parent of such child, if the child received no name, which is more generally the case.

Please reply by return of mail, as I am making up the index and am in haste to complete it.

Dear Sir

Your letter in regard to Lawn Mower is received. The machines were the "Ross mowers" and they were manufactired by the Ames Plow Co. They make none of that kind now & I think the brand is out of the market.
