Mount Auburn, November 6^th 1865

To the Trustees
of Mount Auburn Cemetery

Dear Sirs,
Having learned from the
Secretary (Mr. Coolidge) that James Dorby
Gatekeeper, sent in his resignation to take effect
on the 1st inst. I have only to say that altho
he has not left his "post" Yet! as long as he has
made up his mind to leave, I think the sooner a
Gatekeeper is appointed the better! as seemingly
he is only staying until someone appears to take
his place; and is not so prompt, and does not feel
the interest, necessary, to make him efficient in
the discharge of his duties.

Mr. Alfred F. Roberts
has applied to me among many other for the
Situation. I have referred them all to the Trustees
but I think Mr. Roberts is the best man
