better for her to know your wishes now, than to defer the subject, when a renewal of it might be less pleasant, especially, if you obtained the impression that there was a careless disregard of your rights, which I cannot perceive is now the case.

Please state your views and wishes as fully as you have time to do. I have never seen or heard of Mrs H. before, but should infer from her appearance her entire respectability. Upon inquiry of her, I find she is the daughter of G.W. Stone, Esquire, a lawyer in the town of Cabot, Vermont.

If you consent to the interment of the child, please sign the accompanying order, and send me. --

I am very resp.y your Ob^t Serv^t

A.J. Coolidge

P.S. The questions are -- 1^st Shall the child remain? 2^d If not, do you consent to the removal of father & child? 3^d Do you consent that Mrs Esther Hallet shall have burial there?
