Misser E.L. & H.C. Kennard 943 Washington St

I am informed by H. Kennard Esq that Michael Kennard, prop^r of lot no. 974 in Mt Auburn was your father, and that he died many years since.

I find upon reference to our interment records that Michael Kennard died on the 15^th of August 1845, but unfortunately for title to this lot that event was 15 days before the date of the deed to the proprietor, in that if he was the person intended the deed would be void.

Will you please to call and see me, as we are making up a new catalogue, and should like to get this matter right.

Yours resp.y

A.J. Coolidge
