Mount Auburn Cemetery

Boston, Sept ^r 18.1861 F F Raymond Esq.

Dear Sir,

I have with the Superintendent measured your brother's lot in Mt Auburn.

It measures across the front and rear inside of the curb - 17 feet and the two sides are 21 feet strong. i.e. 21x17=357f.

This is off more than was reported as sold to Mr Raymond, as an addition. The curb is of expensive work, and of course he must have known that he had enclosed some fifty feet over his first purchase.

You will not expect the lot to be good without a deed of this: nor can it be expected that the Corpⁿ will relinquish their claim to pay.

As the by-laws protect any gratuitous disposition of lots, or land.

Yours truly A.J. Coolidge

In accordance with the first vote, I submit the following lots which are to be kept in order by the Corporation, under the guaranty, without regard to the surplus income in each case.

214.	T.R. Raymond -	Fund $300.	surplus income Dec. 31/62	$11.59
313.	J. Story -	" 1000.-	" " "	$1226.73
994	H. Eldridge	" 300.-	[indecipherable] - " "	5.43
1430	P.W. Warren	" 300.-
1496	- Agnes Austin	" 300.-	Surplus " "	50.99

The following lots are not guarantied - But are to be kept as well as the funds will permit -

1.	H.H. Fuller	Fund $200.	Surplus Income Dec 31/62	25.24

1556	A.W. Fuller	Fund $200	- Surplus Income Dec 31/62	76.79

1408	- D. Burgess -	" $100.	Defic.y of " "	1.67

2004.	H. A. Reed	" $100	Surplus " "	11.88

The second vote contemplates the sending of a notice to the proprietors of the lots referred to in as effectual manner as the same can be done; and you will please have such a list made, with a statement of what is needed in each case as soon as your engagements will permit.

Very truly yours,

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
