Dear Sir: -

There was some delay in the delivery of the headstone for your lot on account of the notice from the Metropolitan S. S. Co. being missent, but the stone is now in place. As the charges for setting etc are all paid I send you the bill for freight and expressing direct.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Dear Sir,

The accompanying report upon the lot of the late Mr Gove with the comments of the Committee, will explain the [?] in taking a contract for its perpetual repair. I understand from Capt Winsor that the [die?] is cracked.

Please return the report to me, when you have examined it.

Yours very Resp.y

Dear Sir,

On Lot 77 heirs of Dr Flagg, Capt Winsor says the repairs required have been completed as you see endorsed upon the report.

I also send report on lot 2015 Sewall Phelps Est. to see if the Com^ee can agree upon the am^t to be charged. See Mem. made by Messrs N. & B. --

Please return papers when you have affixed signatures.

Yours Resp.y

Capt. D.L. Winsor, Sup^t

Sir,

Please endorse upon the enclosed descriptions of lots for perpetual repair the fact that the repairs preliminary to the acceptance by the Corporation of said lots have been made - as fast as each is done.

I have placed the form on the 2^d page in case of Isaiah Atkins' lot 454 - of Otis Fairbanks, lot 659 - and of John Woods, lot 2144 -

Will you please review your estimate in the case of John Woods of $400. - It seemed to me from the description, the guarantee might be given for $350. As we shall have about $312 left in the fund after your bill for repairs is in (that is if your bill is $45.) I am anxious to induce the proprietor to pay in enough more to make it up to a guaranty: and I don't believe I can do it, if $400 is required. The lot does not seem to me to involve much greater risk than 3040, Mary Sargent; - 77 J.F. Flagg and 40, T. C. Singleton, every one of which the Trustees have agreed to guarantee for $350. -

Will you strike from the description of lots 358 & 359 the ^^final terms at bottom, "when put in order," unless the lots really need repair. You have not stated any to be necessary. My impression is that the lots were recently newly graded. If new grading is required, probably nothing will be done towards paying in the fund until another year. -

Respy yours

A. J. Coolidge
