Mount Auburn Cemetery

53

situated near the Tower Hill and occupying a portion of what is called Harvard Hill is encircled by Amaranth Path; and contained 5.226 square feet. It contains the monuments of Pres. Kirkland, John Hooker Ashman, and quite a number of monuments of students, and is and must continue to be a spot hallowed in the memories of many. Unfortunately, however, no permanent bounds were ever erected, as the ground slopes to the path which is narrow, in time the visible outlines of the lot have become difficult to find. At the request of the Treas^rat the time mentioned, our Sup^t put down some small stakes with a view of showing as nearly as could be, the former location of this lot. These I found partly remaining when I viewed the spot with the surveyors in December last; but as the matter had been left in the partially arranged state referred to above, it was useless for us to attempt anything, until we could ascertain what your Corporation will do in the matter.

The result is- we have a plan of great beauty and accuracy, as yet without this lot being indicated.

Will you please bring this matter before the Corporation, and have such action taken as will vest in you this power, if need be, to do what is requisite when Spring opens. I think, if you would enclose the lot with a neat granite edgestone, it would add greatly to its beauty and permanance.

I am very resp.y yours A.J Coolidge Sec.y
