Handwritten letter from Seth Low, Mayor, Brooklyn, N.Y, to Captain Thomas Melville, regarding a John Kinslow [Kinston?] who may have been interred in the Sailors' Snug Harbor cemetery. He explains that Kinslow died in the Long Island College Hospital the previous Saturday and that Mrs. Kinslow did not see the body before a permit for burial was taken out by a John [last name illegible] and a coffin "supposed to contain the body" was brought to the Sailors' Snug Harbor cemetery. Low hopes that Melville can ease Mrs. Kinslow's anxiety by confirming if her husband has been buried at Snug Harbor.
