OFFICE OF Mt. Auburn Cemetery Corporation,

H.B. MACKINTOSH, Treasurer. L.C. FARMER, Secretary.

Boston, Oct 21. 1889

Dear M^r Lovering.

The Committee on Lots are unanimous in the opinion that the Two Oaks Mrs Bartlett wishes cut down, must remain. To comply with her request would in their judgment injure the appearance of the Cemetery -- They are willing the trees should be trimmed but not so much as to affect their general shape & symmetry. Please write to Mrs B. in courteous terms the decision of the Corpⁿ --

Yrs truly

J M Spelman for Comm^ee
