Dear Sir

I have been notified by Mr Carruth to do no more work upon his lot, he not having been consulted as I understand in regard to the proposed work. The lot has all been spaded over and is in a pretty rough condition now. Could you see Mr Carruth and arrange the matter.

Very respectfully James W Lovering Supt pr J.C.S.
