Reported by Committee on Grounds.

[Letterhead: Mount Auburn Cemetery.]

Mount Auburn, July 8 1870]

Dear Sir,

On Enquiry of the Treasurer of the Granite Railway Co. I learn that the urn for the receiving tomb is at their quarry or yard, safely boxed, and awaiting call from us.

They are ready to deliver it at any time, but being a delicate piece of work, they thought we should prefer to leave it there till wanted.

Very respectfully yours

C.W. Folsom, Supt.

Dr. J. Bigelow. Pres't Mt. Auburn
