Mrs. M. J. Hadley #35 Brattle St., Cambridge.

Dear Madam: -

Your card is received, our room in the greenhouse is quite limited, so I think it would be cheaper for you to have the expressman take the ivy home for the Winter. The cost of keeping it in our greenhouse would be $5.00.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.

R. A. Ballou, Esq., #3 Studio Building, Boston.

Dear Sir: -

The drawing you send me does not agree with the locations of the graves on the lot, and to prevent any mistake I think it would be well for you to come out and show Mr. McArthur on the lot where the foundations are to go. It is so long since you talked with him on this subject that it has passed from his mind.

Respectully yours, Supt.

Mrs. L. A. J. Alexander, Dorchester .

Dear Madam: -

I have an order to build a foundation in your lot as soon as the size is sent. If the monument will be finished this y year the size should be sent at once, as the season for that kind of work will soon come to an end.

Respectfully yours,

Supt.
