Please let me know the width of the base of the headstone, you can give the size 1' - 8" x 0 - 10" x 1' - 0" one of these sizes must be the height which I dont need to know, but wish to know the exact width so that the foundation may confirm to it.

Messrs Nugent & O'Toole, Worcester.

Dear Sirs: -

I herewith send you bill for the foundation without the setting of the stone, as requested. To prevent misunderstanding I would say that as this lot is under perpectual care, the work of setting has to be done by the workmen of the Corporation.

Respectfully yours,

Dear Sirs:-

The nearest freight depot is Union Market on the P.R.R. There there are private side tracks the charge is too high to make them available. Our experience is that it is cheaper to team out direct from Boston.

T. Quincy Hill Esq

Dear Sir

The Treasurer requests me to inform you as to the condition of lot #554 (Searle) and I find it in very good order.

The bill for the ordinary care of the lot has been sent to Mr Searle but he has not as yet replied.

The bill sent you for "care & plants" $7.50 should have read plants $450 and top dressing with manure 2.00 instead 6⁵⁰; I have placed the differences to your credit.

Yrs truly J.W. Lovering

Mrs E. Munroe

Dear Madam

In reply to your note about the Charge for Myrtle on lot #2364, I would say that you are charged the usual price, and that for the last five years no smaller price has ever been charged for a single grave.

When Myrtle was put on your lot before, it was put on three graves at once and in those cases a small reduction is made, as it costs us less to do the work.

Hoping that this will explain the difference in the charges.

Respectfully J.W. Lovering
