Richard H Salter M.D.

Dear Sir:

Would you be willing to exchange your Lot #3578 Lantana Pa for one of equal size in some other part of the grounds equally desirable.

If so I can probably arrange the matter for you.

Early attention to the matter will confer a favor on yours.

Very Respectfully JW Lovering per Childs

Dear Sir,

We are making a new lithographic map of the Cemetery & wish to know what is the division line between your lot 1889 & your brother's 2739 -- equal in contents -- if you have an ideal line between you.

You may get along well enough while you both live, but it will be better to show the line, then heirs will see how it was always understood.

Please see or inform me.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Gardner G. Hubbard Esq.

Dear Sir,

Some weeks since you promised to give your immediate attention to the matter of the Chaplain lot -- no. 3588 -- on Lantana Path in the Cemetery.

We shall have to ask your immediate attention to this. Indeed I cannot see that anything is to be decided, as the position of both lots is fixed.

You are very near Mt Auburn & can see the Sup^t any day in ten minutes.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Dear Sir,

I wrote you that Mr Livermore is very anxious to settle his bill with the Treas^r for lots 3509 & 3510; and can do so the moment you write the Treas^r that $65 is to be credited for 52 feet land, as that is the amount which appears by the plan to be overpaid for, @ 1.25 per foot.

I also wrote to Mr Reed, that you should report to him your opinion on the steps to Anemone Path.

We have an adjourned meeting of the Trustees next Monday, no business having been done yesterday. The Trustees can then decide on it.

Please have Mr Safford ascertain & report to me what is the correct position of the members of lot 3514 & 3515 if he can do so on the ground.

The above is the way I understand their relative position. Chas. D. Elliott is prop^r of 3514 & Philander Ames of 3515 -- Mr Elliott told me his was the narrow end. But Shedd's survey has reversed this, making 3515 at the narrow end. This I suppose the surveyor got from the stakes. If Mr Elliott was right, the stakes and plan are wrong. If there are interments, they will show. --

There are two lots on Lantana Path -- 2532 & 2841, each of which you reported as 15/20 lots = 300 feet -- By the surveyor's plan, (although the contents are probably the same -- 300 ft) each lot is [diagram: lot diagram with deminsions] so far from a rectangular lot

Capt. D.L. Winsor

Dear Sir,

In getting return from the Treas^r of the lots paid for, I find that you have not reported the following: -

3703	- pd for Sep. 19th	$186. -
Additn to 812	- pd for Nov. 8 -	$118
Additn to 1640	pd for Nov. 7	$232

Please report in your next. It is probable I shall be absent after tomorrow for the rest of the week, Mr Barker agreed to report the form & size of lot 1640 as now to be. -

Have you even ^^re-sold the lot on Lantana P. (3588) once reported to ____ Chaplain, which [G. E.?] Hubbard neglected to pay for? Reported July 15, 1865 -

Yours Respectfully

A.J. Coolidge

Dear Sir,

Please send the items who you gave the Doctor, if you returned a copy; if not I will send to him for the note.

I wish information of the location of the following numbers for the catalogue. I will give a list, & insert any that I happen to know, & lots are unsold. You will remember that you were to locate them for sale, & have probably done so. Please state the contents of each.
