Austin J. Coolidge

D^r Sir

Your letter 5^th inst was received this morning, but I was called from the breakfast table & have not had a moments time even to read your letter before now 3 oclk PM.

I notice the order of Trustees to open a team Gate, and further notice the action taken upon my letter. Iⁿ regard to the Report of M^r. Crocker, I notice the rules fixed which are substantially the same as I suggested, In regard to the changes as the Recvg tomb I thought it was best not to change the price for the use of the tomb but merely take off the interment fees & Recording charge as fixed by them. I proposed to fix the price of Single brick graves, but when a greater number is built for future use to [?] as in my Judgement I may think less, I think the sooner the Rules are changed the better, after giving the necessary notice to the Undertakers

Respu. Yours Daniel. L, Winsor

P.c

I will report on the Olcott lot tomorrow and give you Report of Mrs. Springs lot for perpetual care

[Capt?] D.L. Winsor May 6, 1864
