Dear Sir,

We are making a new catalogue of the Proprietors and Lots in the Cemetery, and wish to keep a knowledge of the place of residence of each.

Henry J. Oliver who was proprietor of lot 67 died in 1849, and his widow Sarah H. was appointed to represent the the lot. From the papers, I infer that you may be a son. If so, please inform me of Mrs Oliver's present residence & oblige.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
