Dr Sirs

Please make what repairs are necessary on fence on Lot 1518, Geranium Path, front being broken in cutting a tree.

When you are out please look at the signs "under the perpetual care of the Corporation" which are fastened to the iron fences, and see if they can be neatly altered to stand in the ground as on many of the lots & let me know the cost apiece for altering say 50.

Yours truly J.W.Lovering Sup^t
