Amos Tenney Esq 37 William St. New York

Dear Sir,

The remains of your wife were temporarily deposited in the Receiving Tomb on the 25^th of Sept. 1864 -- more than a year ago -- with your promise to remove them to New York ^^{or elsewhere} in a few days.

I shall have to request your immediate attention to such removal, as it is absolutely necessary to keep the receiving tomb free for other deposits.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Geo. Albree Esq Pittsburgh, Pa.

Dear Sir,

We are preparing a new catalogue of the lots and proprietors in the Cemetery. I have been informed that your brother John made such disposition of his estate (the residuasm) as to carry his lot no. 129 (which is real estate) to you.

The only evidence one has of title to a lot should appear upon our record and this always made in such cases as this by reference to the original will or the record. I can get at these here. But if you wish it to appear as it should upon the deed, you will send me the deed which I will return by mail. Please also enclose $3, the charge in the matter.

Yours Resp.y

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Dear Sir,

In making a more thorough revision of the plans, & by striking from the catalogue all ^^{numbers of} lots said to be located (yet unsold) where the location is obviously impracticable, we obtained the following numbers for your use, which you can apply to lots made up and that must be sold in that form, as well as to lots sold: --

238, 239, 279, 284, 341, 342, 344, 344, 373, 374, 450, 456, 531, 536, 537, 567, 576, 579, 589, 763, 2532, 2936, 2960, 3012, 3037, 3038, 3081, 3554, 3599, 3600 -- = 30 numbers.

All the above are exclusive of numbers recently reported by you.

Resp.y yours

Capt Winsor

Dear Sir,

I have examined the report of lots sold in the hand of Mr Bond, and find you have never reported the lot on Saffron P. to Jos. P. Williams. The "dupli- cate" report which you find among your papers does not correspond with Mr Bond's --

It appears that you first reported lot 3554 on Saffron P. (not the same no. of feet however) to W^m Lowry, & in the next report changed Lowry to Primrose & gave him a new no. ^⁽³⁵⁵⁹⁾ The old number is the one which you appear to have ^^given J.P.W. -- 3554 --

Please add it to Mr B's reports --

Will you bring in a report upon the lot of John C. Tebbetts, 731 Moss P.

Please give Mr Safford the enclosed.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge

W^m C Murdock Esq

Dear Sir,

I enclose you the contract for lot 1502. When you have signed it -- paid the money top Geo. W^m Bond Treas^r -- 167 Congress, and obtained his signature to the paper, return it to me, and I will have it completed and recorded for you. The next meeting of the Trustees occurs next Monday, and if the paper shall have been returned me before then, I will get the assent of the Board. --

I had hoped you might bring the other matters into the this year's operations.

Truly yours
