Dear Sir,

You will remember that you once called at my office in reference to a suppozed encroachment of the Sup^t of Mt Auburn upon your lots. It now appears that he had done so, and I see by the order of the Treasuser upon me for a new deed to you, that it is proposed to correct the mistake by refunding to you the price of the land which has been taken.

I have made a deed to you of 470 ft. Please bring to me your old deed, and reconvey of the Corporation, and take the new deed.

Truly yours,

A. J. Coolidge Secretary Mt Auburn

Dear Sir,

A long, long time ago you were to let me know about making a deed of the space around your lot- to whom the deed should be made. The year is just departing, and I wish to finish every old matter. I cannot help charging you with some negligence; for it was well understood between us that the thing should be finished up when last I saw you.

Will you attend to it this week.

Truly yours,

A. J. Coolidge Sec^y of Prop^s Mt Auburn

Dear Sir, I see that you do not yet apprehend the nature of the difficulty in making the deed. It is nothing as to title that your mother was designated to represent the lot -- that does not vest any title in her. I only wish to know the facts. If your father left no will, the deed should be made to the heirs at law. If he made one, just show me a copy, and I will advise you whether it ought to be made in the same way. The deed of the addition should be to the same person or persons that hold the original, by law. Your mother would still represent it, until the appointment should be received.

Truly yours A.J. Coolidge Secretary
