July 31, 1939 To the Honorable City Counc11 of the City of Austini On behalf of the Vestry of All Saints Chapel, Whitis Avenue and 27th Street, Austin, I hereby request permission to remove the body of the Right Reverend George Herbert Kinsolving, Bishop of the Diocese of Texas of the Protestant Episcopal Church, from 1892 until his death in 1928, from Oakwood Cemetery to a position in a concrete vault under the chancel. This request is made in accordance with the wish of Bishop Kinsolving himself. As Bishop of Texas, he was the father of the work of the Episcopal Church in the University of Texas and in promotion of it, built Grace Hall and All Saints Chapel and was largely instrumental also in erecting Gregg Parish House; and for nearly thirty years he made his home within a stone's throw of these buildings. This work being so close to his heart, he desired, after a widespread practice of the Church, that his mortal remains should rest beneath the floor of the Chapel which he had built. It has long been the wish of the congregation of All Saints Parish to carry out the Bishop's idea, but only now has it become possible to do 80. I submit herewith the approval of Bishop Kinsolving's only child and heir, the Rev. W. Ovid Kinsolving of Summit, New Jersey, of the Bishop's brother, the Rev. Arthur B. Kinsolving of Baltimore, Maryland, and of the Right Rev. Clinton S.Quin, present Bishop of Texas, speaking for the Diocese of Texas. (Signed) W. J.
