Mount Auburn Cemetery

Boston, March 10, 1865 T. Quincy Browne Esq^r

Dear Sir,

I owe you an apology for seeming to neglect you so long in the matter of deed for Mrs A. Hemenway, but I have had an unusual pressure of business, besides being out of the State a short time.

However, I left the deed with the Treas^r about a week since, that you might receipt for it on his books. I believe there is nothing due at the Treasurer's, at least, not on my account, but I send you a small bill for my services, which you can enclose to me at your convenience. --

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge

Augustus Hemenway Esq

To A.J. Coolidge [Dr?]

1862 Oct 25

[ ? ] the heirs of Henry H. Tuckerman. I see the difficulty, but cannot cure it, unless you will buy or sell. You know whether that is desirable. If the heirs of ^^Gustavus & H.H. Tuckerman are all of full age they can join in a deed to you, and the record of such a deed together with that which you already have from W.^m with his from Henry H. will give you the entire title.

If I were sure such course would meet your approbation, and had the names & residences of the heirs (where there are married women the names of husbands ^^also should be given, but the husbands need not sign.) I could prepare & send you on such deed.

If the heirs are of age, & that course suits you, I will prepare the deed when you send the names. If it is impracticable, the lot will have to be represented by the heirs of H.H.T.

When you write, if you can please tell me who and where are the heirs of Edw^d G. Tuckerman, died Sept. 2, 1864.

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge

Yours truly
