"lily of the valley" planted - which she thinks will grow, as the sun falls there morn-- ings, but does not expect to have the grass kept green - perhaps would like a border. There are not more than four persons to be buried there - does not wish any fence or monument other than such headstones as may be needed for those who may be interred: wishes to reconvey the lot to the Corporation. With what she proposes, it cannot possibly cost the Corporation $5 per annum. The only question is, if we take it in the state in which it now is, what can be done to it annually. Will you sug-- gest the probable first outlay for what she wishes - viz. digging stump out, making border on path, and planting the lily of the valley.
If the $300 will be insufficient, she will probably let it remain accumulating until it amounts to enough, unless she should be able to add more to it. I told her that the trees would some time perhaps be taken down - then the lot ought to be put as a condition for green grass there - She prefers the trees there - selected the lot on account of them; but feels annoyed at its present forsaken appearance, and was led just now to giving the $300 partly because the lot looks so, and partly because the next lot Mrs. Fairchild's is left so neglected.
Please report on this Saturday if con-- venient.
And now descending the hill, view another which has been inquired about since I began to ask you to look at Mrs. Churchill's -- the
Murray lot no. 587. belong-- ing to the 1st Universalist Soc.y - situ-- ated on Moss Path. But little has been done to it for some years, & if I remember, but little can be done to it. The Society is about dissolving and wishes to convey this lot to the Corpn with a fund of about say $160 ($159 in March last) which has been accumulating for some time. It contains 136 square feet. This is somewhat different from a private lot. I suppose there may be nobody that feels enough interest to add to the fund if insufficient, but perhaps it is enough to put & keep it in repair.
Truly yours
A. J. Coolidge Sec.y

Dear Sir,
As the Committee on Lots wish to pay you a visit, and the following lots, which are destitute of numbers, gave them some trouble on their last visit, it seems to me that it will be well for you forthwith to have the numbers cut on the stone post, or wherever you can to best advantage. Probably most of them will pay the bill, the remainder the Corporation must pay:
