Mount Auburn Cemetery

The consequence of which is -- as lots in our Cemetery are declared in the Charter to be real estate, the lot descended to the next of kin of Thomas Jones. If he left more than one such next of kin, it would fall to them in common, and it would be proper for one of them to be designated to represent it. If the nephew alluded to was the only heir, it would be inherited by him. Mrs Jones' will cannot affect the title -- it would go as I have said. But if there are others, and they are desirous of carrying out her request, they can do so by releasing to Geo. H. Jones. I am sorry the subject was not better understood by Mrs J., but it cannot be helped now. If you desire, I will do what I can to bring about her wishes by preparing any such conveyance, if you can reach the parties.

Truly yours,

W^m L. Coggswell Esq 27 E. 26^th St., New York,

Dear Sir,

I have obtained a report upon the condition of your lot standing in the name of Sophia M. Coggswell no. 1142, and have laid the same before the Committee on Lots: and they have instructed me to notify you that the Corporation will contract for the perpetual repair of your lot on the payment of three hundred dollars. I expect to pass through your City next Tuesday merely on absence for the week, but I will attend to any request you have to make upon my return. I will prepare the proper papers whenever you are ready.

Very Resp.y yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
