Sam^l T. Snow Esq. Ch. Comm. on Lots D Sir

I send you plan of lots #2940, 1 + 2. Mr I.H. Silsbee wishes to redivide them making #2940 + 2941 [first?] 300 ft. each, and the balance into one lot 380 ft. in rear.

Is there any objection to this?

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

Dear Sir

I find on examination of the deed &c for your lots that the passageway is not in the rear of the lots, but on the west side running from Lawn Ave and dividing your land from the next lot fronting on that Ave.

Respectfully J.W. Lovering Supt.

Dear Sir

I find that to repair your fence in any lasting way would cost at least $150.00 which is more than the fence is worth.

I can repaint it for $10. if you wish, and when it rusts so that it will not stand you can take it away -

I will paint the fence & put a good sod on the lot & enrich it for $75 if you think well of having it done.

Respectfully J.W. Lovering Supt.
