[first line illegible?] [... nor have they ...?] meeting you yesterday, in showing Miss Hosmer [?]. over time, and thinks much of a triangle at the Northwesterly end of Forrest Pond, formed by the three branches of Narcissus Path just below Levi Thaxter's lot - containing about 1000 feet, perhaps, border and all.—
She wishes to erect a bronze statue to her father. For such a purpose, under proper restrictions, I should think these would be no objection, but rather be desired.
She will probably be out again in the course of a week.
I have given a pass today to Wm E. Parmenter Esqr to visit Mount Auburn tomorrow with officers & members of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the US., to the number of 80 or 100, he thinks, in carriages. They will reach the Cemetery about 4 o'clock.
I wish you would attend at once to my note the other day referring to Wm W. Stone's want of key & bill for same. He has sent again.—
Yours truly
Dr Jacob Bigelow, Prest &c
Dear Sir,
I have finished the paper which I spoke to you about, & which I desire, with your approval & that of the Board to see go forth to the proprietors in a printed form. I have spent a month or two in elaborating and putting together, with a good deal of care, what I believe are the views of the Trustees on the subject of the future ^& perpetual preservation of the Cemetery and all the lots therin.—
It very may occur to you, who are so familiar with the subject, too long— but I think a careful reading of the paper will show that I have not been repetitious.
