Dear Sir,

Mrs Gould's daughter is the legal heir to lot no 1769, our lots being declared by this Charter to be real estate. As the daughter is abroad, I see no objection to Mrs Gould's representing this lot.

But a new dilemma may be presented by Mrs Gould's going abroad, as the lot is enclosed with iron fence. These lots need constant attention, or they soon fall into disrepair. If you should advise Mrs Gould to avail herself of a provision of our by laws in giving the Corporation a sum of money to keep her lot in perpetual repair, from the income of the fund. I think you will do her and those interested good service. The same paid for that are $300 & upwards, according to the nature of the lot site requirements.

My Respy yours

A.J. Coolidge. Sec.y

Sullivan B. Ball Esq Fitchburg, Mass.

Dear Sir,

Excuse my seeming want of attention by your request of Dec^r 5 to know the value of lot of Molezias Morse - 624, Walnut Av^e (not Chestnut).

I expected to be at the Cemetery in a day or two after the recpt of your note, & give you my opinion from personal inspection; but the snow has decided that matter.

However, I can give you about as good an opinion from knowledge of its location. It cannot be worth less than $300, and $400 could not be a high price, at all, for the lot.

I like to know where our proprietors are. My catalogue fixes Mr Morse in Leominster. I rather infer he is now in Fitchburg. Will you please state? If I can serve you in any way further I shall be happy to do so.

Yours Respy A.J. Coolidge Secy.
