Mr. W^m H. Phillips Newton Corner, Mass.

Dear Sir,

On the 11^th of May last, you interred in lot no. 698 in Mt Auburn represented by Henry A. Snow, doing business at 94 Devonshire St. Boston, the body of ---------------------------------.

The gatekeeper informs me that you promised to return him the order for interment with the town permit, but have failed to do so.-

I send you the enclosed blank which you will please fill out - annex the town permit, & return same to me, and I will get Mr Snow's signature, if that is all you have been waiting for. Such neglect as this should not occur again.

Resp.y yours

D. Jay Brown Esq^r

Dear Sir,

You will please order the Superintendents of Mount Auburn to put in some granite boundary posts upon your lot No 3287, unless you are about to make some other kind of enclosure. Our rules enforce this as a condition in the deed. As your lot is of irregular form, the difficulty of making an accurate survey and of preserving the visibility of your bounds, unless the rule is complied with is greatly increased.

I cannot make a deed for you until I have the the form and measure of the same from our surveyors, and they will not survey it, until permanent boundaries are erected.-

Please see Capt. Winsor and have the matter attended to.

Yours most Respy

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

Mr W^m H. Phillips, Undertaker Newton Corner,

Sir,

I wrote you on the 31^st of July last, asking you to send me the order properly filled out for an interment which you made on the 11^th of May last in lot no 698 (Snow's tomb): and you have been requested by the officers at Mt Auburn to do the same. I have never rec^d any reply from you on the subject: although I learned from our Gatekeeper a few days ago that you told him in reply to his last inquiry for this paper, that you had sent it to me. -

Not doubting that it is in your power to comply, I have only to say now, that unless I receive this paper from you before the next meeting of our Trustees on Monday next, I shall lay the matter before the Board for such action as they may think proper. --

Respectfully yours

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y

H.A. Snow Esq, Representative of Lot 698 in the Cemetery of Mt Auburn

Dear Sir,

I have just written a note to W^m. H. Phillips of Newton Corner, an undertaker, who has never returned to me any information of the unknown (to us) child deposited by him in your tomb on the 11^th of May last - for record - stating that if I do not receive the proper order from you with the necessary information before the meeting of the Trustees on Monday next, I shall lay the matter before the Board for such action as they shall think proper. -

I have heard that he says that he has sent it to me -- but it has never been received.

Yours respy.
