Dr John Bacon

Dear Sir,

In reference to your inquiry for what sum the Trustees of the Cemetery of Mount Auburn would assume the perpetual care of your lot numbered 2354,- the Committee on Lots have instructed me to inform you, that they have had the same under consideration, and will contract with you for three hundred dollars. -

Very respectfully & truly yours A.J. Coolidge Secretary.

Boston April 6, 1861 C. P. Curtis Esq. Chairman Com^ee on Lots,

Dear Sir,

The reply of the Com^ee on Lots to the inquiry for what sum the Trustees will assume the perpetual care of the Pelham W. Warren lot (no. 1030), also Mr Mann's note advising that it be first put in order by grading and sodding at an expense of $20, has been received. This would require $200 in addition to the $100 already devoted to the lot.-

If you can find means to bring the condition of the lot and these facts to the attention of the Hon. Chas. H. Warren, as I the other day suggested in conversation with you, perhaps something may be done. Mr W^m W. Goodwin of Harv. Coll. assured me that any funds from which to increase this appropriation were entirely wanting.

Very respectfully yours A.J. Coolidge
