The gatekeeper informs me that you promised to return him the order for interment with the town permit, but have failed to do so.-

I send you the enclosed blank which you will please fill out - annex the town permit, & return same to me, and I will get Mr Snow's signature, if that is all you have been waiting for. Such neglect as this should not occur again.

Dear Sir,

You will please order the Superintendents of Mount Auburn to put in some granite boundary posts upon your lot No 3287, unless you are about to make some other kind of enclosure. Our rules enforce this as a condition in the deed. As your lot is of irregular form, the difficulty of making an accurate survey and of preserving the visibility of your bounds, unless the rule is complied with is greatly increased.

I cannot make a deed for you until I have the the form and measure of the same from our surveyors, and they will not survey it, until permanent boundaries are erected.-

Please see Capt. Winsor and have the matter attended to.

Yours most Respy

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
