Mount Auburn Cemetery

April 9^th [186]6

Capt D.L. Winsor

Dear Sir,

I send you the permits for work up to this date, in favor of Joseph Fox -- Patrick O' Brien -- & Eben^r Weeman. --

I also enclose a letter which was lying on the table when you were here, but I was so busy as to forget it, and you do not appear to have noticed it.

Mr M. B. Markham, prop^r of the little lot next to John H. Jenks, writes me today that he has been again to Mount Auburn, and found a lot on Indian Ridge, which he likes, next to 334 (Geo Hills) and opposite 417 (Sarah B. Fearing).

He judged it to contain about 150 feet. Upon looking at our large plan, I don't see any other lot on the N.W. side of 334 not separated by a space of 200 feet or so. --

I therefore wish you to inform me how it is. If he asks this where you can lay out large lots, of course he can't have it. If it is between lots, then please say whether there is any objection to letting him have it. If not, I will write Mr Jenks.

Truly yours

A.J. Coolidge
