A.A. Barker Esq

Dear Sir

I have notified Mr. Ross to deliver us no more sods either of Couch Grass or Goose Grass. I want you to make the Foreman of the Sodding [gauy?] understand that if bad sods are delivered he is not to use them, but to place them on the avenue & notify me. I shall hold him personally responsible for using no sods which ought not to be used

Yours truly J.W. Lovering

Sept 26. [187]3

Rob^t Ross Esq

Dear Sir

Do not deliver us any more sods with either Couch or ^^Goose Grass in them. They will not answer for us I am satisfied & I have directed Mr Barker to have no more put down.

I want a good pasture sod, if you can get it, if not, please see me before you deliver any more.

Respectfuly J.W. Lovering Sup^t
