Geo. H. Kuhn Esq

Dear Sir,

In looking over our papers & records, I find that no transfer back to the Corporation was made of lot 473 in Mount Auburn, as contemplated in Miss Putnam's will. The contract for perpetual repair was executed in Sept. 1862 & duly recorded, but the record of the devise of her lot to the Corporation escaped me at the time, and I suppose did you too.

If you have the deed, you can make a transfer, on the page, as ex^or "in accordance with the provisions of her will", to the Corporation. If you can call any day after 12 o'clock, at your convenience, I shall probably be in: or I will wait upon you at your office.

Yours very respy,

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Dear Sir,

Some time since you were apprized of the fact that your lot in our Cemetery no 21, on Myrtle Path, had been accidentally covered by another lot, for want of bounds or other mark designating the location of yours.

We have a new plan rapidly being engraved and shall soon also issue a new catalogue, and we should like to have you select another location now during the open season, partly for the reason above named that our new issue may be as free from error as possible but more especially as our most eligible land is being rapidly taken, which fact shortens the range for your choice. Your attention will oblige.

Yours respy. A.J. Coolidge Secretary

Please report upon lot 2887, Larch Av. 60 ft - belonging to Mrs Anna R. Goodwin for perpetual repair -- also state what repairs will cost if any are first needed. --

Mr Thos. Richardson is very anxious about the price of land -- 200 feet more or less on the northerly side of the Alger lot -- at the end of Elm Av -- Somebody has reported to him that it has been sold; but I told him I thought not. He is in the Alger family, & wishes to purchase it --

Will you survey it up to the Alger line, & let him know through me how much it contains --
