Template Letters

1. A template letter for the ordering of a coffin for a deceased inmate.

This is one of a number of templates that needed to be written as letters to request the grant of an order for burial; preparation of a grave; advising the relevant church, etc.

2. What looks to be a list of food, maybe breakfast, to be given to specify inmates.

3. What looks to be a list of liquor, wine & beer to be given to specific inmates.
