Mason G. Parker Esq

Dear Sir,

I find that your lot & that of Mr Jas. K. Lawrence, on Oak Av. are wrongly numbered on the lot & on the plan 2807 & 2808.

These numbers should have corresponded with those of your deeds 2806 & 2807. The mistake appears to have been the result of some previous misnumbering.

I wish to correct it so that no mistake will arise hereafter upon any interment.

Please therefore inform me whether your lot or that of Mr L. is more northerly - that is towards the Lake - and I will have the numbered located accordingly.

Also inform me whether any, and what interments have been made in the lots, that the Register of Interments may be corrected.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Dear Sir,

Your lot appears to have been wrongly numbered on the lot & on the plan for the whole time which you have owned lot 2811 - while your deed is of 2808.

I have taken steps towards the necessary correction, on the lot and on the Register of the ^^three interments which you made - so as to correspond with your deed - 2808.

I merely notify you that you may not be surprized to see a change of number.

Yours truly
