Mount Auburn Cemetery

Mrs Jesse Knopp 249 Hanover St.

D^r - Madam,

Please inform me if your husband is deceased. If so, when he died, & where he was interred: as I do not find his interment anywhere on our records, although he was proprietor of lot no. 298 Larch Ave. I see your name instead of his has been in the Directory since 1863.

If he is living, please state where he resides.

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

P.S. I am making up for press a new catalogue of lots & proprietors.

Mrs John Southwick,

Dear Madam,

Mr John Southwick (whom I suppose to have been your husband) purchased a lot in the Cemetery in 1840. I see that the Charlestown Directory ^^{for 1860} puts down Mrs John Southwick of [?] Winthrop St. & a John Southwick (whom I have supposed might be your son) of the U.S.N. as boarding at 2 Sex[?] St.

We have no record of the death or interment of the proprietor of this lot.

We are making a new catalogue, & if you can give me the requisite information you will oblige.

Yours Respectfully

A.J. Coolidge Secretary
