Amos Tenney Esq 37 William St. N.Y.
Dear Sir,
Last summer I wrote you requesting your attention to the removal of a body from the Receiving Tomb which you had placed there when you sold your lot -- & Mr Jackson wrote me that you were in Europe and was expected back "before the end of the year" and would then attend to it. --
Allow me to repeat our request.
Respectfully yours
A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
Dear Sir,
Your request to be informed for what sum the Corporation would guarantee the perpetual repair of the Lawrence enclosure consisting of lots 489, 490, 491, 492, 903, 904, 1309 and containing 3700 square feet with tomb, monuments, headstone, fence, trees &c has been laid before the proper Committee, and they have directed me to inform you that the Corporation will assume such responsibility on payment of four thousand dollars ($4,000.)
This will not of course cover future structures, as it is impossible to foresee what may be desired.
If however the parties will limit the cost of such to any particular sum, they can be covered.
Very Resp.y
A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
