THE NEW ENGLAND MONUMENT CO. NEW YORK.

Dear Sirs:-

Your note of 17th is received, and I have forwarded an application for a permit as directed. If when you make a contract for work in this cemetery you will ask the parties to put themselves in communication with our Boston Office (#5 Pemberton Sq.) the Secy will issue a permit on the application of the proprietor of the lot. This permit should be forwarded here or brought by the teamster with his first load.

Respectfully yours,

#2768-S

Dear Madam:-

Your note is received. None of the marbles stand well out of doors, and the more elaborate the work the greater the liability to decay.

Respectfully yours, Supt.

Elisha Dyer Esq Providence R.I.

My dear Sir,

I owe you a dozen apologies for neglecting your request for information & forms so long: -- but [have?] hardly known for a month whether I was in or out of the body, such has been the load of work upon me. I shall be so occupied for a week or ten days.

After that, if I can do you service I shall be most happy to comply with your wish, if such matters will then be seasonable. Please inform.

Very respy. yours

A.J. Coolidge Secretary

Messrs R.A. & Q.A. Vinal,

Gentlemen,

I have written you twice before that there is a difficulty and contradiction about the numbers applied to your lots in the Cemetery -- 2767, 2768, 2769, 2770, 2771, which I wish you to enable us to clear up. To say nothing of the error upon our present plan, we are preparing a lithograph plan for the proprietors, as it is to be regretted that any known error should be perpetuated. You can of course, set it straight, if you choose - and I trust you will do so.

Yours respy

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
