Dear Sir

The sum already paid for the perpetual care of the lot #938 covers all care & repairs on the lot as it now stands and does not provide for any additions.

The cost of a myrtle grave including the perpetual care is $17⁰⁰ or $34 for the two you wish.

As to a myrtle border the cost including perpetual care would be $125, as it costs $4 or $5 per year to keep covered thro' the winter & to weed water and make the necessary repairs.

The myrtle can be planted this autumn say about Sept 20^th if you desire.

Yrs very truly J.W. Lovering. Supt.

Dear Sir

Lot 938 at Mt Auburn is, I believe, under the perpetual care of the Corporation.

In addition to the periwinkle which is now over one grave I should like it placed over the two other graves, and also a border of periwinkle [carried?]

round three sides of the lot, as is done upon the

[in left margin] 20 x 28

23 40 63-- 50 $31.50 $30-- and $100--

adjacent lot to the arch.

Please inform me if this can be done this season; at what cost; & whether the present arrangement for care of the lot with cover [there?] additions.

Truly Yours
