Mount Auburn Cemetery

33 School St. Boston Jany. 5. 1864

Rev. D.R. Cady, W. Cambridge,

Dear Sir,

Will you please write out on the enclosed order of interment which I return you for correction, the legal name of "Allie S. Cady", which is the only one we should use upon record. We wish to rob no one of the household name, but you will certainly perceive that great inconvenience often ensues in giving it in for record.

To illustrate - a citizen of your town lately sent in the name of "Georgie" for record: and not until the orthography had been corrected, ^^{to "Georgia"} could we know whether the deceased was a male or female. -

Please also fill the blank for the age, and return the paper to me.

Respy yours

A. J. Coolidge Sec.y Mt Auburn Cem.y

Dear Sir

I am anxious to price you a deed of your lot in the Cemetery - no 3260 - I have caused the surveyors to sketch it & to go in the new laying out. Will you please call and see the plan - and that it is satisfactory.

Truly yours

A. J. Coolidge Sec.y Mt. A. C.
