33 School St. Boston, Oct^r 30, 1860 Geo W^m Bond Esq Treas^r &c.

My dear Sir,

I send you 50 proprietors tickets.

Also deeds for Duncan Bradford, Esq^r, Mary A. Faden, and of Passageway to Eunice M. Gridley

The deed ordered in name of Charlotte Oxnard cannot be made without putting the title of the lot in her name. By referring to the catalogue you will perceive she only represents it. I believe J. Ingersoll Bowditch is one of the Trustees under the wills - a man impatient of forms - and I should not be surprized if he sh^d refuse to do anything about it. The addition should be conveyed to the party in whom the legal estate of the lot has vested.

Is there not some mistake about the passagway to B.A. Gould which Mr Mann has described? I remember that in Mr. Gould's lifetime this whole space about 9 to 11 ft. was divided between Mr G. & Dr. Bigelow, and you will see on the catalogue that each has 85 [ft?]. It may that ^ ^{Mr Mann} he has discovered more land.

Truly yours A.J. Coolidge Secretary

Left margin: Mrs. Eliz. C. Thayer sh^d pay $1.00 more for new deed record.

Jona. Mann Esq Sup^t Mt Auburn

Dear Sir,

Will you please examine the lots described on the accompanying blanks, -457, 479 & 480, - and send me the blanks filled out. Also state what in your judgement should be charged for the perpetual care of each. We are aware that they are in the same enclosure, but the contracts, if made, must be distinct.

Truly yours A. J. Coolidge Secretary.

33 School St. Boston Nov. 22/60 Mr. T. H. Safford

Dear Sir,

Will you please enclose Mr. Raymond's bill which I left with you as he has called for them. I met Mr. Apple and he insists that he took care of the lot for the years '58, '59 and '60. If that is so, then $2 should be refunded from what the Corporation has received on the '57 bill paid twice.

I wish also you would make out a bill of $15 (I think it was) charged some two or three years since against Mr John [N.?] Brown of Charlestown, for foundation to monument &c.-lot 888- The bill has been lost and I would like another with the date and charge.

Yours truly A. J. Coolidge
