Dear Madam:

The old standing order for care of lots is very much defaced. Will you kindly sign enclosed order and return to me.

Yours Resp'y

Dear Sir:-

In our catalogue there is a note against lot #1719- Emerson, "ornamental ground 52 feet, not paid for". Can you please tell me if this is so?

Respectfully yours,

Henry Emerson Esq

Dear Sir,

When you last called at my office about the bill due to Mt Auburn, you said you would see Mr. Mann the Sup^t, and attend to it. This was some months since. I have asked the Sup^t several times if you had seen him, and he said , no; and that he did not consider that he had anything to do about bill placed in my hands for collection.

I must consequently again call your attention to this unsettled account, and request that you neglect it no longer.

Respectfully yours,

A. J. Coolidge Secretary of Mt Auburn

Mr John P. Ordway,

Your note of Oct 5 is before me—in which you say—this "I shall be absent for about a week longer, after which time will see you."

Twenty Eight days or four weeks have elapsed without your fulfilling this promise—like many that have gone before it. Now this may all be innocent enough on your part, but I have come to the opinion that it is mere imposition, and unworthy of both of us. You have, at various times, intimated that you were ready to arrange a place for gradual payment; and this you have totally neglected.

I shall bring the matter to the attention of the Trustees next Monday, and let them say what they think should be done.

Yours A. J. Coolidge
