Mrs E.J. Plympton Stamford Conn.

Madam

[Mrs Barkus?] requested me to send you an estimate of the cost of cleaning the headstones in your lot. I have looked at them and find it will cost $2 ⁵⁰/100

Very respectfully J W Lovering pr J.C.S. Supt

Jacob Sleeper Esq

Dear Sir

The price for the perpetual care of your lot has been reconsidered, as you requested, but it does not appear that any reduction should be made in the price named to you ($575 including the cleaning but not the renewal of the marble) unless you will dispense with the flowers in front, when the unit would be reduced to $500.

If the amt should be paid during the month of September [18]82 no charge will be made for the care & plants for 1882.

Yrs respectfully J.W. Lovering
