Dear Sir,

I have rec^d^, by your politeness, thro. Mr [Fra..?] of our Mount Hope Cemetery Corp^n^, a copy of the By-Laws and the Rules & Regulations of Mount Auburn Cemetery --

The Proprietors of our cemetery Grounds are about revising their By-Laws, more particularly in regard to doing the labor for individual lots --

I notice by Article 9, of your Rules & Regulations it implies that all labor either for general purposes or for individual lots is done by the Corporation, and I suppose, however, that done on individual lots is at the expense of & is paid by the owner of the lot, or is the owner permitted to enter the grounds & do his own work, or by hands employed by him?

I would be much obliged if you will be so kind as to give me the desired information --

Very Truly yrs.

Geo. Stetson Presdt Mount Hope Cemetery Corp^n^

To the Superintendent of Mount Auburn Cemetery Cambridge Mass
