Rev. Dexter Porter

Dear Sir

I have your favor of Nov. 17. and will have the grave cut as requested during 1874.

The matter of perpetual care is in the hands of our Trustees. They will receive any sum & contract to spend the income thereof on the lot, or for a fixed sum they will agree to keep the lot in perpetual repair forever. To do the latter it would I think require more than you wish to deposit - Should you feel inclined to make a deposit of $100, the entire income to be expended. Please communicate with Mr S. Batchelder Jr. Sec'y at

Miss F.A. Richardson P.O. Box 343 Worcester

Dear Madam

Your favor of 25 inst is received. The headstone is set but nothing has been said thus far for any preparation for planting myrtle. I will however take your letter as an order to prepare the grave where the headstone was placed, for myrtle and will have it in readiness for you to plant the myrtle on Monday P.M. May 29, as you propose.

The number of the lot is 2467 but the number on the gate is 2469. The 9 should be changed so that the number may be correct. This could be done for about $2.50.

Very Respectfully J.W. Lovering Sup.^t per Childs
