D Sir

The workmen employed in building yoru tomb have left on number of boards + considerable other rubbish over the next lot + the avenue much to the inquiry of the general appearance of the Cemetery, now that we are putting the lots in order.

If your tomb is in such a conspicuous place it is a source of much annoyance to others, + I would there fore, respectfuly request you to have the place put in order first as far as possible. and I am confident it can be much improved from its present condition. I can do it for you, reasonably if you wish Yrs truly
