The undersigned, subscribers now survi-
ving, to the fund for the purchase of a Statue
of the late Mr Justice Story
, respectfully
represent to the Trustees of the Cemetery
of Mount Auburn, that the fund subscribed
by them were given on the condition that
the Statue should be placed in the Chapel
of the Cemetery
: -- and inasmuch as
the said statue is completed, the under
signed request that it may be removed
to its place of destination, as early as
convenient. Ten years have elapsed since
the subscriptions were paid into the hands of
the Treasurer of Mount Auburn, and about one
third of the contributors have departed this
life, without witnessing the accomplishment
of the object for which their contributions
were made by them and accepted by the
Trustees of the Cemetery -- April 1856
