Dear Sir: -

The fence on your lot is in a rusty and unsightly condition, and the lot and its surroundings would be improved by removing it. Will you authorize me to do this, recut the posts at the corners, remove the other posts and sod over the post holes and cut the number of the lot without expense to you except the old material.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

Mrs Lydia M. Allen & Mrs Mary B. Caulk Chelsea, Mass

Ladies,

Will you be so kind, as to send me word, at once, how you divide lots 3388 & 3389, which are in one enclosure. 3388 is Mrs Allen's & 3389 Mrs Caulks. I subjoin this sketch and will thank you to indicate by these figures, which owner the northerly and which the southerly side. I see that Mr Coffin's grave is on the north side of the centre line, and the grave without a headstone is on the south side.

The lot fronts to the eastward, & towards Oak Avenue. I have put in the numbers short of the last figure which by you adding 8 and 9 where they belong will show which each owns: or as you face the headstone, say which the left side belongs to, & which the right.

As soon as I receive your answer, your deeds will be ready.-

Respectfully yours.

A. J. Coolidge, Secretary

Alvan Clark Esq Cambridgeport,

Dear Sir,

On the 16^th of Dec^r/63 an order was sent me by Mr Bond, our Treas^r for a deed (among others) of your lot, no. 3411, situated on Sumac Path, for which you paid $150. In his order, he includes a tomb right which I found from his books, soon after that date, had not been paid on; and of course I have delayed mailing the deed.

I understand from Capt. Winsor, our Superintendent, that he informed you of the rule requiring $50 additional fee for a tomb privilege - and now write you, lest you should have been under some misapprehension. If you do not wish the tomb privilege, please notify me.writing me. If you do, please send $50 to the Treas^r, Geo. W^m Bond, 167 Congress St.

Yours truly

A. J. Coolidge Sec.y
