OFFICE OF Mt. Auburn Cemetery Corporation, No. 5 TREMONT STREET, Room No. 38.

H.B. MACKINTOSH, Treasurer. L.G. FARMER, Secretary.

Boston, [blank line] 18[91]

This, however, did not seem to suit him, and after a pretty forcible expression of his opinion as to the 'general incapacity' of the Mount Auburn officials, he cleared out, leaving Messrs Mackintosh, Dean and yours truly in a state of collapse, to which any incoherency in my remarks must be attributed.

Make any changes in the enclosed that you think advisable, and return same as soon as possible so that I may have the stamp made.

Yours truly,

L.G. Farmer Secretary

Subject: strong complaints of prop. [in pencil]

OFFICE OF Mt. Auburn Cemetery Corporation, No. 5 TREMONT STREET, Room No. 38.

Boston, Nov. 3^rd^, 1891.

Dear Mr. Lovering:

The first case under the vote of the Committee on Lots has been presented to me by Mr. Howland, and I am led to think that it will be a good idea to have a rubber stamp made containing a form of words like the enclosed, so that we can stamp it on each contract as it comes up.

Mr. Howland wishes the words "under perpetual care of the corporation" cut on the stone. I told him that your letter used the words "under perpetual care", only, so that if I were to endorse anything on his contract I should have to follow your letter.
