Dear Sir

Your note of the 9^th inst is at hand. The price for a lot of 300 ft. is ^$5.00 for care, without plants. If your two Lots viz: 3628 & 3629 were charged in the same proportion the cost would be ^$9⁰⁰ and ^$10⁰⁰ respectively. We will however take care & furnish plants for the same price as last & of the same quality. The care of the lot consists in cutting grass, keeping the sod clean, raking up leaves &c and in every dry seasons like the summer of 1873 the item of watering both, often exceeds the charge for the care of same. Then the flower beds have to receive a certain amt of attention and the myrtle if any to be properly covered for the winter

On ^the circular you hold you can make the price same as last year and forward

Yours Sincerely

James W Lovering Supt
