Dear Sidney:
This letter is written to you in your capacity as
a member of the Cemetery Commission of the Town of Queensbury.
Duane Buckbee left a bequest of $200.00 for the
care of a cemetery lot in the Gurney Lane Cemetery. I had a
conference with you and you indicated that if the bequest could
be taken as general so the Commission would not be required to
invest this $200.00 specifically for the application of the in-
come you would accept the bequest as you already had other
perpetual care funds.
I wrote to Blanche B. Townsend, the executrix, and
today I have a letter from Mrs. Townsend, in which she says that
she is very satisfied with the suggestion that you accept the
$200 .00 as a general perpetual care fund with the understanding
that the Buckbee lot will receive the same general care as the
otherlots in the Cemetery without specific reference to the
income from this fund.
Accordingly, I hand you herewith check of Blanche
B. Townsend to order of the Cemetery Commission ofthe Town of
Queensbury in the amount of $200.00 for the above purpose.
Your very truly,
AEB:D Albert E. Beswick ,
Encl.
