Dear Sir

I find that in order to supply all necessary signs on avenues & paths, we need 56 iron signs or 10 more (total 66) if the paths are to be laid out over the piece of land East of the well house, which was ploughed last spring. I also find 28 wooden signs wanting - that is, if these signs are to be replaced in same condition as they were originally. If in iron, which certainly looks better, the total no. required would be 94. I have written to the firm who made them before for a price, but have rec'd no answer yet.

Respectfully J.W.Lovering

Dr Sir

I have seen Otis Braneshaw in regard to cost of signs for Avenues. He will deliver them here for $6.50 unpainted, or $7.50 painted two coats. We can paint them for 75 cents each making total cost $7.25.
